Woman's Club of Newport, also known as Newport Town Hall, is a historic clubhouse located at Newport, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built in 1934, and is a one-story, T-plan building in the Tudor Revival style. It has a three-bay-wide, two-bay-deep, gable roofed main block with a broad wing extend to the rear, resulting in a T configuration. The roof of the wing is slightly higher than that of the front section, and terminates in a clipped "jerkinhead" gable. Originally built for the Woman's Club of Newport, in 1976, the clubhouse was sold to the Town of Newport for use as a town hall.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1]
