Austin City Hall is the seat of the Austin municipal government, located at 301 W 2nd St in downtown Austin, Texas (USA). The current building was completed in 2004. It is the meeting place for the Austin City Council.

Austin’s new City Hall, by lead architect Antoine Predock, is one of the best new examples.
