The Polka Hall of Fame is a museum in Euclid, Ohio, United States. It traces the history of the Cleveland-style polka, from its Slovenian roots from the 19th century, through American factory and mining towns where it absorbed jazz and country expressions, to the post-war years when top ten polka hits got the nation on the dance floor.

Awards show
The hall of fame holds an annual awards show in November of each year.

Location
The museum is located on the first floor of the old Euclid city hall. The building was renovated in the early 21st century for two museums - the Polka Hall of Fame (first floor) and the Softball Hall of Fame (second floor).
