Floris Adriaan, Baron van Hall (born May 15, 1791 in Amsterdam – died 29 March 1866 in The Hague) was an important statesman from the middle of the 19th Century. He played an important role as representative of the Amsterdam trade and bankingsector and as politician.

He studied law in Amsterdam and Leiden, en became a lawyer in Amsterdam. He practised law until the King appointed him as successor to Cornelis Felix van Maanen as Minister of Justice in 1842 and one and a half year later as Minister of Finance. Since 1849 was he member of the Second Chamber of the States General until in 1853 he succeeded Johan Rudolf Thorbecke to form a new government. In 1856 King William II gave him the title of Baron.
