For the use of this term in aerodynamics, see stall.

A stall is a small enclosure of some kind, usually less enclosed than a room. The word most commonly refers to immobile temporary structures erected by merchants to display and shelter their merchandise. Such stalls are easily erected or taken down to allow movement to a new market area.

Some commercial marketplaces, including market squares or flea markets, may erect (or allow merchants to erect) more permanent stalls. Stalls may also appear as display areas at fairs and conventions.

In a theatre or concert hall auditorium, the stalls are the seats on the ground floor directly in front of the stage.

In a cathedral, the stalls are the seats built into the quire or choir in the eastern end of the structure.

A stall may also be:

• the living quarters for an animal in a barn or stable
• a high-backed booth at a restaurant
• A shower stall
• A washroom stall
