The Gewandhaus ("cloth house") is a famed concert hall in Leipzig, Germany. Today's hall is the third in succession; the second was noted for its excellent acoustics.

The first Gewandhaus was built in 1781 by architect Johann Carl Friedrich Dauthe. The second opened on December 11, 1884, and was destroyed in 1943-1944 in World War II. The third Gewandhaus on Augustplatz opened on October 8, 1981.
