Austhorpe Hall is a house built in 1694 at Austhorpe, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is a grade II* listed building.[1]

The house is of red brick with contrasting stone quoins, seven bays and three storeys, with a triangular pediment over the Baroque doorway. Pevsner describes it as "A remarkably early case of acceptance of the classical idiom".[2] Linstrum notes that it was built in 'an unusually sophisticated design'.[3]
