Cumberland City Hall is a historic city hall in Cumberland, Allegany County, Maryland, United States. It was built between 1911 and 1912 and replaced the Cumberland, Maryland City Hall & Academy of Music. It is a 7-by-7-bay, two-story, stone-faced, neo-classical structure. It features an irregular corner, into which the architect has recessed a curving bay; the upper window in this curving bay has been filled with glass block. A mural by artist on the interior of the rotunda dome depicts the early history of the city, including representations of General Edward Braddock and of George Washington.[3]

The Cumberland City Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
