White Hall is a town in Lowndes County, Alabama, United States. As of the 2020 census, White Hall had a population of 806. The community was named for a plantation that was destroyed in an 1882 tornado. It is part of the Montgomery Metropolitan Statistical Area.

It was established during the Great Depression in 1935 as a New Deal project under the Resettlement Administration, similar to the town of Skyline. Because of Southern racial segregation, White Hall was intended for the African-American majority population in the area. The town did not incorporate until 1979.
