Webster County Courthouse, County courthouse in Fort Dodge, Iowa, United States.
The four-story stone courthouse stands with classical details, symmetrical proportions, and a prominent clock tower at Central Avenue.
Designed by architect Henry C. Koch in 1902, this structure replaced an earlier courthouse from 1861 after Fort Dodge became the county seat.
The National Register of Historic Places listed this Beaux-Arts building in 1981, marking its role in local government and architecture.

The building underwent substantial renovations spanning twenty years, with investments of several million dollars to restore the roof and clock tower.
