Hood County Courthouse Historic District, Historic courthouse district in Granbury, United States.

The Hood County Courthouse Historic District is a historic courthouse complex in Granbury centered on a main square surrounded by Victorian-era buildings made from native limestone. The ensemble includes the courthouse, opera house, bank buildings, and commercial structures all facing the central plaza.

The present courthouse is the fifth building on this site; contractors Moodie and Ellis built it of Brazos limestone in 1890–1891 to a Second Empire design by Waco architect Wesley Clark Dodson. The district was listed on the National Register on June 5, 1974, its nomination calling it "one of the most complete 19th-century courthouse squares in Texas." Nellie Gray Robertson, the first female county attorney in Texas, was elected for Hood County in 1918 and practiced here.

The square's name comes from the 1890–1891 courthouse, the fifth courthouse on this site. Around it stand the 1886 Granbury Opera House, the 1885 First National Bank Building, the 1893 Aston-Landers Saloon Building and the 1893 Nutt Brothers Building. Nellie Gray Robertson, Texas's first female county attorney, was elected for Hood County in 1918 and practiced in the courthouse.

The district is freely accessible and can be visited at any time, with most buildings visible from the outside on the square. For interior access to specific buildings, plan your visit during regular business hours and ask locally about available tours or open areas.

The clock tower was finished after the rest of the courthouse and needed reinforcement in 1969. Nellie Gray Robertson, the first female county attorney in Texas, was elected for Hood County in 1918 and practiced in this building. The district was listed on the National Register on June 5, 1974.
