The Capitole (French for "capitol") is the heart of the municipal administration of the French city of Toulouse.

The construction of the original building started in 1190.

Today the Capitole houses the city hall, as well as the Théâtre du Capitole de Toulouse opera company and the Orchestre national du Capitole de Toulouse.
