Zwemer Hall, is a historic building located on the campus of Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1894 to house what was then called the Northwestern Classical Academy. Mankato architect George Pass, Sr. was responsible for designing the Romanesque Revival building.

While utilized for a variety of academic purposes over the years, it is now used as the college's administration building.
