The Talbot County Courthouse, on Courthouse Sq. in Talbotton, Georgia, is a brick County courthouse that was built in 1892. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]

It was designed by architects Bruce & Morgan in Queen Anne style and "is smaller and more picturesque than many of their courthouses."[2]

It has a tall, pyramidally topped clock tower on the east corner, and a squat bell-capped tower on the west corner, linked by a gable. It has a Romanesque arched entryway.[2]
