Lower Carden Hall is a historic house in the civil parish of Carden, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated GradeI listed building.

The oldest part of the house is the north wing which dates back to the 15thcentury, or earlier. A south cross-wing was added in the middle of the 16thcentury and the north wing was enlarged and re-fronted in the early 17thcentury. Alterations and additions were made to the rear of the house in the late 19thcentury. The major part of the house is timber-framed with oak frames and plaster panels on a sandstone plinth. The north end gable is built in stone and brick. The rear wing is of brick with steeply pitched grey slate roofs. On the north gable and on south wall of the cross-wing are massive projecting chimneys of stone and brick. The house was substantially restored in about 1984 with a brick inner skin and steelwork.
