Hancock Town Hall is a historic town hall on MA 43 in Hancock, Massachusetts. It was constructed in the Greek Revival style in 1854, using timbers from a previous meeting house that had been on the same site. The building served a number of municipal purposes, including library, school, town offices, and town meeting space. In preparation for the town's celebration of the nation's bicentennial, the hall was moved to a lot adjacent to the town cemetery and restored.[2]

The hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
