The Queen Elizabeth Hall (QEH) is a music venue on the South Bank in London, England which hosts daily classical, jazz, and avant-garde music and dance performances. The QEH forms part of Southbank Centre, the national arts complex, and stands alongside the Royal Festival Hall which had been built for the Festival of Britain of 1951.

The QEH has over 900 seats and the Purcell Room, a linked but smaller venue for recitals, has 370 seats. These two auditoriums were built together and opened in March 1967. They were designed as additions to the Southbank Centre arts complex, with The Hayward (opened in October 1968), by the architects department of the Greater London Council headed by Hubert Bennett.

The sculpture Zerman in stainless steel (by William Pye, 1972) stands on on the riverside terrace of the QEH.
