Metropolitan Courthouse, Judicial structure in downtown Albuquerque, United States

The Metropolitan Courthouse is a nine-story, 175-foot (53 m) building at the northwest corner of 4th Street and Lomas Boulevard in downtown Albuquerque. Designed by DCSW Architects in a contemporary Art Deco style, it has a three-story rotunda finished in granite, marble, and travertine, and a 36-foot (11 m) sculpture of the scales of justice.

Construction began in May 2001, and the building opened on January 20, 2004 as a modern judicial center. It replaced the previous courthouse that had stood at 4th and Roma.

The courthouse's three-story rotunda is finished in granite, marble, and travertine, and a 36-foot sculpture of the scales of justice stands as a focal point. The building was designed by DCSW Architects in a contemporary Art Deco style, and its name comes from the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court it houses.

The courthouse occupies the northwest corner of 4th Street and Lomas Boulevard in the Courthouse District, with the main entrance facing that intersection. Visitors pass through security screening, so allow extra time on days when the Metropolitan Court is in session.

The 2005–2009 fraud case over the courthouse construction drew eight defendants, among them a former president pro tempore of the New Mexico State Senate and a former Albuquerque mayor. Six pleaded guilty to conspiracy and mail fraud; the other two to misprision of felony. The Albuquerque Journal called the scheme "breathtaking in scope and star power."
