The Tracy City Hall and Jail, also known as Old Tracy Jail, is a commercial structure in Tracy, California. Built in 1899, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.^[2]

When the city hall and jail was built, Tracy had not yet incorporated as a city and had no organized government of its own, being managed by San Joaquin County officials.^[3] San Joaquin County commissioned the building after the previous jail burned down.^[2]

The city hall and jail is a one-story brick building and is approximately 24 by 43 feet (7.3 m × 13.1 m). The architects' design of the façade of the building was based on San Francesco di Rimini, a fifteenth century church in northern Italy.^[3]

In later years, the building housed a local chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.^[4] It is now in use as the office for The Grand Foundation.^[5]
