Hallau (known officially until 1934 as Unterhallau) is a municipality in the canton of Schaffhausen in Switzerland.

==History== Though Bronze Age weapons have been found in Hallau, the first traces of a settlement date from the Roman era. A Roman warehouse was found in Hüttenhau as well as numerous Roman coins. The area was settled by the Alamanni. An Alamanni graveyard exists near the Church of St. Moritz, as well as the ruins of the Alamanni village of Atlingen.
