Rosendale Common School, also known as Niskayuna Grange Hall No. 1542, is a historic school building located in the vicinity of Niskayuna in Schenectady County, New York. It was built about 1850 and is a 1 12-story, three-by-five-bay, timber-frame building on a limestone foundation. It has a steeply pitched gable roof and a one-story, shed-roof addition from the 1960s. The building was used as a school until 1948, when it was sold to the local Grange for use as their clubhouse.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[1]
