The Iloilo City Hall is the official seat of government of the City of Iloilo, Philippines, located in Plaza Libertad, Iloilo City Proper. It is where the Mayor of Iloilo City holds office and the chambers of the Iloilo City Council. It also hosts several offices under the Iloilo City Government.

The new Iloilo City Hall was completed in August 2011 as the replacement for the Old Iloilo City Hall after the city government donated it to the University of the Philippines Visayas, which now serves as the UP Visayas Main Building.[1]

The Iloilo City Hall is the first green building in the Visayas,[2] which features a solar powered air-conditioning system, a rooftop garden, and a rain harvesting area.[3]

Lin-ay sang Iloilo (Lady of Iloilo), an 18-foot bronze statue on top of Iloilo City Hall's dome. The inspiration was drawn from the U.S. Capitol BuildinginWashington, D.C., where a twenty-foot statue called "The Lady of Freedom" stands as a symbol of "Freedom triumphant in War and Peace." The Lin-ay sang Iloilo characterized prosperity and aspirations of hope and peace.[3] It was designed by Ed Defensor and cast by Franz Herbich in Cebu Philippines.

Construction was begun on the eight-story Iloilo city legislative building in 2021. The building, intended to house city councilors, will be connected to the city hall with a bridge.[4] Mayor Jerry Treñas is also pushing for a 7-story multi-parking building near City Hall.[5][needs update]
