Milford Town Hall is the historic town hall at 52 Main Street in Milford, Massachusetts. The two story wood frame building was built in 1858; in addition to its role in housing town offices for over a century, it is a distinctive local example of Italianate architecture, with pilasters articulating the building bays above a quoined basement level, a modillioned cornice, and alternating gabled and segmented-arch pediments above its windows. It is unusual among Milford's public buildings in not being built out of locally quarried granite.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]
