The Oulu Market Hall is a historic market hall in the Market Square, in the centre of Oulu, Finland. The market hall was opened in 1901.
The city council of Oulu decided to build the market hall in 1889 due to the tightened food safety regulations in Finland. Specifically butchers were to be moved from the open market square to the covered market. The warehouses surrounding the Hall are former granaries converted into handicraft shops.{{Cite news|url=https://luxeadventuretraveler.com/oulu-market-hall/|title=Oulu Market Hall at Market Square|last=Dombrowski|first=Jennifer|date=16 April 2013|work=Luxe Adventure Traveler|access-date=15 December 2017}} The construction of a hotel, the Oulu Market Hotel, situated next to the Hall, has been approved in 2015.{{Cite news|url=http://www.laatioark.fi/en/home/the-oulu-city-building-board-granted-a-building-permission-to-the-oulu-market-hotel.html|title=The Oulu city building board granted a building permission to the Oulu Market Hotel|date=13 April 2015|work=Laatio|access-date=15 December 2017}}
