The Charles City County Courthouse is a historic county courthouse located at Charles City, Charles City County, Virginia. It was built about 1730, and is a one-story, "T"-shaped, brick structure. It has an apparently original modillion cornice and a steep hipped roof covered in tin. It features an arcaded front. Also on the property are a contributing Confederate monument, a late-19th century clerk's office with later additions, and a frame jail building built about 1867.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
