Old Pickens Jail, also known as Pickens Jail, is a historic jail located at Pickens, Pickens County, South Carolina. It was built in 1903, and is a two-story, brick building with a two-story crenellated tower. It was expanded in 1928 to provide additional space for the cellblock. The jail closed in August 1975, and has since been used as a historical museum and art gallery.[2][3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
