Newton County Courthouse is a historic county courthouse in Courthouse Square in Covington, Georgia, the county seat of Newton County, Georgia. The courthouse was designed by Bruce & Morgan in a Second Empire architecture style and built in 1884.[2] It was constructed on the same site as a previouse county courthouse building that burned down on December 31, 1883.[2] The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1980.

The courthouse features in two postcards from around 1907.[3][4]
