Johnston Hall is a historic building located on the campus of Elon University in Elon, Alamance County, North Carolina. It was built in 1925, and is a substantial, two-story, H-shaped, red brick Classical Revival-style building. The front facade features a one-story flat-roof porch carried by brick piers. The building is the historical centerpiece of the Elon Homes for Children campus, an orphanage founded in 1907.[2][3] The building is named for Charles David Johnston, superintendent of the orphanage.[4]

The building was acquired by Elon University in 2003. It now serves as the headquarters for Elon University's Office of University Advancement.[5]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]
