Greece Memorial Hall, also known as Greece Town Hall, was a historic town hall building located at Greece in Monroe County, New York. It consisted of a two-story, side-gabled main building constructed in 1919; two 1+1⁄2-story flanking wings built in 1936, and a two-part addition constructed in 1955. The main building featured a 1+1⁄2-story protruding portico with a stone arch flanked by two open oculi and supported by two stone Tuscan columns.

The hall memorialized the 288 young men from Greece who served in World War I, thirteen of whom died in battle.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 and demolished in 1999.

Two years later, the Greece Memorial Hall was demolished. The old wooden mahogany seats that were once in the hall's auditorium are now on the north end of Town Hall, near the town clerk's office. And that bronze plaque naming all those who fought was also saved and now hangs in the Town Hall's main hallway.
