In Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time universe, the Hall of the Tower is the ruling body of the Aes Sedai of the White Tower, answerable to but able to depose the Amyrlin Seat. The Hall is comprised of three Sitters (typically among the oldest and most powerful Aes Sedai) from each Ajah, and the Hall of the Tower may also be referred to as the Hall of the Sitters.

The Hall of the Tower can also refer to the actual hall within the Tower where the body itself meets.

The Hall of the Tower convenes to vote on White Tower policy and to make laws.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Since the White Tower split following the overthrow of Siuan Sanche for supporting the Dragon Reborn, each of the factions has their own Hall of the Tower. The Salidar Hall does not have any Red Sitters, nor does the current White Tower have a Blue one. In fact, to all appearances, neither faction contains any Aes Sedai of the opposing Ajah; the schism was complete and total on that front.
