Kerr Hall is a series of four buildings in the Garden District of Toronto, on the campus of Toronto Metropolitan University. The four buildings form a quadrangle, at the centre of which is a community park, known as the Kerr Hall Quad.

Named for the first principal of the Ryerson Institute of Technology, Howard Hillen Kerr, the buildings are situated on the former site of the Toronto Normal School, known as St. James Square. The original normal school building and the land it sat on was acquired by the institute when it opened in 1948, after which it was renamed to Ryerson Hall. Kerr Hall was built at the edges of St. James Square, with Ryerson Hall being demolished as the individual buildings were built. The only remnant of Ryerson Hall now is the façade, which serves as an entrance to the university's athletics centre.
