The New Town Hall (German: Neues Rathaus) is a town hall on the Schlossplatz in Wiesbaden, Hesse, Germany. It hosts the city government including the city council, offices of the mayors and part of the administration.

It was built between 1884 and 1887 by Georg von Hauberrisser (de) in a Renaissance Revival architecture style. The basement is almost completely occupied by a restaurant called Ratskeller.

In the Second World War the building was destroyed in parts. The dominant artfully designed main gable with its two spires had been able to withstand the war. Nevertheless, the front was demolished. Except for the entrance, it was heavily modified and simplified, and a floor was set up. The vaulted entrance hall and the staircase were preserved.
