Hutchinson Commons (also known as Hutchinson Hall) at the University of Chicago is a dining hall and lounge for university students and professors.

It was modeled, nearly identically, on the hall of Christ Church, one of Oxford University's constituent colleges. The great room (or main dining room) measures 115 by 40 feet (35 by 12 m), and was for many years the principal site of convocations of the university. It is located in Chicago's Hyde Park community and is currently used as a dining hall and lounge for university students and professors. The building was donated to the University by the banker, philanthropist and university trustee and treasurer Charles L. Hutchinson through a donation of $60,000 (equivalent to $2,099,778 in 2024) for the purpose.
