List of Masonic buildings identifies notable buildings around the world that were constructed by Masonic bodies, were converted to Masonic purposes by the fraternity, or that have some other strong association with Freemasonry. Masonic buildings in the United States are listed at List of Masonic buildings in the United States
Often these buildings are formally named or popularly referred to as "Masonic Halls", "Masonic Centers", or "Masonic Temples". Another common term for such buildings is "Masonic Lodge", however some would reserve use of this term to refer to the local chapters that meet within the buildings, and not to the buildings themselves.
Many buildings that were built to house Masonic lodge meetings and ritual activities are now regarded as landmarks. In other cases, Masonic bodies converted existing landmark buildings to Masonic use. Many buildings of both types are now listed on heritage registers.
