The Morgan County Courthouse in Madison, Georgia is the courthouse for Morgan County. It was built in 1905, replacing a courthouse built about 1845. It was designed in the Beaux Arts style and features a portico entrance on the corner. It was renovated in 2005.[2]

It was designed by J. S. Golucke and Company and built by the Winder Lumber Company. It was described as being "distinguished by a pronounced, enriched entablature, limestone lintels, sills and string courses, giant order Corinthian or Composite columns and a large, domed cupola".[3]
