The Ames Schoolhouse is a historic school building at 450 Washington Street in Dedham, Massachusetts. It was originally part of the Dedham Public Schools. It currently serves as the town hall and senior center for the Town of Dedham.

The building was dedicated in June 1898. In 1937, it was painted and renovated by the Works Progress Administration. It was an office building for the next three decades. At the 2014 Spring Annual Town Meeting, the Town of Dedham voted to repurchase the building for $5.85 million and renovate it to be used as a Town Hall and Senior Center. The project was long overdue and over budget. On June 19 and 20, 2020, most departments moved from the old town hall into the Ames Schoolhouse.
