Newcastle Court House, Heritage courthouse in Newcastle, Australia

Newcastle Court House is a courthouse in Newcastle, New South Wales, designed in Victorian Italianate style with a symmetrical layout and arched tower entrance. The structure features single-storey wing buildings flanking a central court room, all finished with detailed cement moldings throughout the facade.

Designed by Colonial Architect James Barnet, the building was completed in 1892 and replaced an earlier courthouse from 1841 that had become inadequate for its needs. The new structure reflected the Victorian architectural standards embraced by New South Wales for significant public buildings in the late 1800s.

The building's name comes from its role as the district's court house from 1892 until February 2016, when proceedings moved to a new building in Civic Place. Its Bolton Street frontage was designed as a terminating focal point, closing the vista along the street. Since December 2016 it has housed an offshore campus of Nihon University of Japan.

The building stands at 9 Church Street, closing the vista up Bolton Street; the arched tower entrance faces the street and can be viewed from outside. It now serves as an offshore campus of Nihon University, so the interior is not open to visitors.

The buyer in December 2016 was Nihon University of Japan, which paid A$6.6 million and turned the former court house into an offshore campus. The building had served as a court from 1892 until February 2016, when a new court house opened in Civic Place.
