Lipscomb Hall is a co-ed dormitory for first-year students located at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia.

Lipscomb Hall is located off Baxter Street, directly next to Mell Hall and Bolton Dining Commons. It is considered part of the "lower five," a group of five dormitories with smaller capacities and proximity. The rooms at Lipscomb Hall consist of beds, desks, closets, and a sink and house two people. After complaints arose concerning the poor facilities in Lipscomb Hall, the downstairs area with a kitchen and laundry machines was renovated, along with the communal bathrooms. Additionally, the dorm was deep cleaned. The renovations were completed in 2023. Lipscomb Hall is named after Andrew A. Lipscomb, a former president of the University of Georgia, who also held slaves. In 2020, Georgia established an advisory group to rename buildings on campus that are named after individuals who supported slavery and racial segregation. However, it was decided that Lipscomb Hall would remain under the same name along with many other buildings on campus considered in the advisory group.
