City Halls is a significant concert venue in Glasgow, Scotland, originally constructed in 1910 as part of a municipal complex. Designed by William Binnie Simpson, it served initially as municipal offices before being converted into a dedicated concert hall in 1990 following extensive renovations. The building is notable for its Victorian architecture and its prominent location in the city centre.

The hall boasts excellent acoustics and hosts a diverse range of musical events including classical concerts, jazz performances and traditional Scottish music. It is home to the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra during their Glasgow seasons and has become a central hub for cultural activity within the city.
