Newton County Courthouse is a historic county courthouse in Courthouse Square in Covington, Georgia, the county seat of Newton County, Georgia. The courthouse was designed by Bruce & Morgan in a Second Empire architecture style and built in 1884. It was constructed on the same site as a previouse county courthouse building that burned down on December 31, 1883. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1980.

The courthouse features in two postcards from around 1907.
