The Calaveras County Courthouse is a historic courthouse built in 1867 in San Andreas, California. The brick courthouse contained the county's courtroom, jail, and sheriff's office; until 1888, executions were also conducted in the building. The building's jail held outlaw Black Bart, a notorious Northern California highwayman, during his 1883 trial. The county's Hall of Records was built in front of the courthouse in 1893; the two buildings nearly touch and are considered part of the same complex.

In 1966, after moving its court operations to a new building, the county turned over the 1867/1893 courthouse complex to the Calaveras County Historical Society, which now operates it as the Calaveras County Museum.^[2]^[3]

The Calaveras County Courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 28, 1972.^[1]
