For the town hall in London, see Camberwell Town Hall, London.

Camberwell Town Hall is located, on Camberwell Road, Camberwell, an inner eastern suburb of Melbourne, Australia.

The Town Hall was built in 1891 in the free classical style and features Second Empire influences in the steep pitch of the clock tower's pyramidal mansard roof.[1] A timepiece was absent from the clock tower until the donation of a £300 clock in 1924.[2]

After the amalgamation of the City of Camberwell with the Cities of Hawthorn and Kew on 22 June 1994 to form the City of Boroondara, the Town Hall with the Camberwell Civic Centre became the main municipal offices.[3]
