The Hazel Green Town Hall is a historic building in the village of Hazel Green, Wisconsin. Built in 1891, the building housed both the town clerk's office and the Hazel Green Opera House, a civic auditorium. The auditorium hosted town meetings, graduation ceremonies, religious events, and entertainers; it also served as the town's jail when necessary, as a cage could be added to the stage. The auditorium closed in the 1920s; the building is now private property.{{cite web|title=Hazel Green Town Hall|url=http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/Content.aspx?dsNav=Ny:True,Ro:0,N:4294963828-4294963814&dsRecordDetails=R:NR1973|publisher=Wisconsin Historical Society|accessdate=2016-06-16}}{{cite news|last1=Heggland|first1=Timothy F.|title=Hazel Green Town Hall|url={{NRHP url|id=88003231}}|accessdate=2016-06-16|work=NRHP Inventory-Nomination Form|publisher=National Park Service|date=1988-07-14}}
