Crumlin Road Courthouse, Grade B+ listed courthouse on Crumlin Road, Belfast, Northern Ireland.

The building exhibits a symmetrical front with fifteen bays and a portico featuring six Corinthian columns supporting an entablature with a pediment.

The courthouse, designed by Charles Lanyon and completed in 1850, connected to Crumlin Road Gaol through an underground tunnel for prisoner transport.

William Boyton Kirk created the sculpture representing justice at the apex of the pediment, reflecting the judicial function of this neoclassical structure.

The courthouse ceased operations in 1998 when judicial activities moved to the Laganside Courts Complex, leading to its subsequent sale in 2003.

Three fires in 2009 caused substantial damage to the structure, which remains vacant despite various proposals for redevelopment into a hotel or hospital.
