Meriden Town Hall is a historic municipal building at 110 Main Street in the Meriden village of Plainfield, New Hampshire. It is a two story wood frame structure, built in 1895. Its main facade is three bays wide, with double leaf doors sheltered by a gable-roof porch. Its principal exterior alterations since construction are the addition of the front porch in 1901, and the addition of a handicapped access ramp aod door to one of the side window bays in 1995.[2]

The building is the only purpose-built town hall building in Plainfield, whose government is divided between Plainfield village (where Plainfield Town Hall is located) and Meriden. This town hall was built after the previous meeting house (built 1797), used for both religious and civic functions, was destroyed by fire in 1894.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
