The Gwinnett County Courthouse, also known as the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse, is an historic courthouse located at 185 West Crogan Street in Lawrenceville in Gwinnett County, Georgia.

The Gwinnett County Courthouse was built in 1885 and served as the administrative centre of Gwinnett County for over a century until its operations were moved to the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center in 1988. The old Courthouse underwent a lengthy three year renovation starting in 1989 and reopened on July 3, 1992, as the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse. Today, it serves as a rental venue for weddings, concerts, conferences, and other special events. It is one of the parks maintained by the Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation Department.

On September 18, 1980, the Gwinnett County Courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
