Merchants' Hall (sometimes Merchants' Arch) is a former 19th century guildhall, now a protected structure, on Wellington Quay in Dublin, Ireland. It is located opposite the Ha'penny Bridge and backs on to Temple Bar. The building was the last of the city guildhalls to be constructed and operated as a guildhall for 20 years before the Dublin Guild Merchant ended its main work, along with other Guilds of the City of Dublin.
Since that time until 2021 it has had a number of uses including as a boys school, a factory, a retail unit, a fast food restaurant and a pub. As of 2021, a pub named "Merchants' Arch" operates from the premises.
