Lane Hall is a later 20th-century neoclassical building serving as the principal workplace and headquarters of the central administration of Bates College, located at 2 Andrews Road in Lewiston, Maine. It has been the principle administrative headquarters of every Bates president since Thomas Hedley Reynolds in 1964. Lane Hall was named after George Lane Jr., who served as treasurer of the college, secretary of the corporation, and on the of directors. Lane Hall, as a central administration otherwise known as the Faculty of Bates College is headed by the of , Clayton Spencer, and succeeded by her Vice-Presidents and Deans.

The building name, Lane Hall is used to refer metonymically to the central administration of Bates College. The college's Board of Fellows and Board of Overseers combined to create a united Board of Trustees featuring alumni, and accomplished members of society associated with Bates. The current Chairman of the Board is 1980 alumnus, Michael Bonney. The Board of Trustees combined with the office of the presidency create the Bates College Corporation, the highest level of authority for the college and its extended domains. The members of the Board of Trustees, central administration, and the president are afforded certain and selected powers, privileges, rights and immunities through the Laws of the President and Trustees of Bates College, the highest ranking document in the Corporation of Bates College.

The hall, often confused with the official residence of the president, provides no residential space for any executive offices. The president is afforded the President's House as an official residence. Lane Hall has no specific security detail but is under the security protection of the college's security units and the Lewiston Police Department. Lane Hall is by Hathorn Hall to the North flanked by Parker Hall and Dana Chemistry Hall. It is adjacent to Pettigrew Hall and Pettengill Hall. Lane overlooks the Historic Quadrangle of the college and protrudes from Lake Andrews.
