Martin Hall is a dormitory on the campus of Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas. It was built in 1918 to a design by noted Arkansas architect Charles L. Thompson. It is a three-story masonry structure, faced on dark red brick with stone trim elements. It has a wide central section topped by a gable roof, with projecting gabled sections at its ends. Its ground floor windows are set in arched openings giving it an arcaded appearance. The hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for its architectural significance.{{cite web|url=https://www.arkansasheritage.com/docs/default-source/national-registry/FA0528-pdf|title=NRHP nomination for Martin Hall|publisher=Arkansas Preservation|accessdate=2016-03-08}}
