Thiers old hospital (Ancien hôpital de Thiers, in French) is the former site of a hospital dating back to the 17th century, located in the eastern part of the historic center of Thiers, France. The site covers an area of 0.5 ha, and the buildings cover more than 7,000 m². It is located within the perimeter of Thiers' site patrimonial remarquable (remarkable heritage site), and remains protected under the town's Plan de sauvegarde et de mise en valeur (Protection and Enhancement Plan). Like the rest of Thiers' old town, the site has underground passages and cellars.
Closed in 1988 following the hospital's move to new premises at the Thiers hospital center, the site remained partially abandoned before being totally abandoned following the departure of the medical-psychological consultation center in 2016.
