Conyngham Hall is a historic building in Knaresborough, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. Coghill Hall was built in about 1555. In 1796 it was purchased by Ellen, Countess of Conyngham, who rebuilt the house, and named it after herself.

The house was requisitioned during World War II, and served as a hospital for injured servicemen. In 1945, the house was purchased by Knaresborough Urban District Council, which leased it to Tilcon Connecticut, and from 1965 until 1986 leased the grounds for use as Knaresborough Zoo. The property has remained in council ownership since, most recently rented to small businesses, with the former stables serving as an innovation centre. The hall has been grade II* listed since 1952.

The front has sill bands, a dentilled eaves cornice, a blocking course, a balustraded parapet with finials, and a hipped roof. In the centre is a portico with pairs of giant Ionic columns carrying an entablature with a triangular dentilled and corniced pediment. The doorway has a segmental pediment, and a keystone with a female mask and grapes, and has flanking windows. The windows are sashes in architraves, those in the ground floor with triangular pediments, and in the upper floor with keystones. In the left return are two two-storey canted bay windows, and the right return contains a bay window with a balustraded parapet. Inside, the entrance hall has Doric order columns, and leads to the staircase hall. The former library has 19th-century panelling, an overmantle in the Jacobean style, and a moulded ceiling depicting women and male warriors. The dining room has 18th-century plasterwork, alcoves with fitted tables, and a marble fireplace. Several upstairs doors are decorated with 18th-century paintings of women, wheat and scrolls.

The water of the well is so rich in sulphate and carbonate that artefacts may be put in the well to be "petrified" (encrusted) as a tourist attraction.The place is associated with the legendary soothsayer and prophetess Mother Shipton (c. 1488–1561), born Ursula Southeil, and reportedly the wife of Toby Shipton. According to legend, she was born in the cave. The cave and dropping well, together with other attractions, remain open to visitors and are run privately by Mother Shipton's Cave Ltd.
