The Stoa of the Herms was a building conjectured to be in the Agora of Athens. Known from literary testimonia, and lately inscriptions, it was believed to have been situated at the north-west corner of the site, though no archaeological finds have confirmed its existence there.

Aeschines wrote in 350 BCE, "The Demos gave them [ Kimon and the victors at Eion ] great honours as it seemed in those days — the right to set up three stone herms in the stoa of the herms."
