Old Union County Courthouse is a historic courthouse located at Vine and Market Streets in New Berlin, Union County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1815, and renovated in 1855-1857, to convert it to a schoolhouse. It is a 2 1/2-story, brick building, three bays wide and four bays deep with a gable roof. The roof features a center cupola. It was used as a school until 1952.[2]

It now houses the New Berlin Heritage Museum, also known as the New Berlin Post Office and the Courthouse Museum. The museum is open by appointment and on New Berlin Day, a street festival held each year at the end of August.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]
