Tigert Hall, built in the late 1940s and early 1950s, is a historic administrative building located on the eastern edge of the University of Florida campus in Gainesville, Florida. Designed in a modified Collegiate Gothic style, it was built to function as the university's main administration building.
In 1960, the building was renamed for John J. Tigert, the university's third president, who served from 1928 to 1947. The building faces Southwest Thirteenth Street (U.S. 441), one of the major public roads adjoining the university's campus.
Tigert Hall became a contributing property in the University of Florida Campus Historic District in 2008. The historic district had been previously added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 1989.
