The Bristol County Courthouse is an historic courthouse on High Street in Bristol, Rhode Island, USA. The Federal style courthouse was possibly designed by Russell Warren and built in 1816. The building's structure is of stone, originally faced in brick, although that has since been stuccoed over. It was originally designed to house municipal offices as well as the courts, and was occasionally host to the state legislature, during a time when it was mandated to sit in a rotating series of locations.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.[1]
