Tonypandy Town Hall is a historic building in Tonypandy, a town in Wales.

The building was constructed in 1892 as the Empire Theatre. In 1912, it was remodelled to serve as a cinema, operated by Sam Duckworth and W. E. Willis. It closed in 1918, but reopened in 1922 under new ownership, closing in 1959. It was then converted into the town hall, with council offices on the ground and first floors, a snooker club on the second floor, and a nightclub in the basement. By 2010, the snooker club had closed, but the building contained a shopping arcade. In 2016, the building was converted into 18 flats and five shops.
