The Tarrant County Courthouse, part of the Tarrant County government campus in Fort Worth, Texas, United States, was designed by the architecture firm of Frederick C. Gunn & Louis Curtiss and built by the Probst Construction Company of Chicago, 1893-1895. This pink Texas granite building, in Renaissance Revival style, closely resembles the Texas State Capitol with the exception of the clock tower. The cost was $408,840 USD and citizens considered it such a public extravagance that a new County Commissioners' Court was elected in 1894. In 1958 A Civil Courts Building was constructed on the west side of the courthouse.

The Tarrant County Courthouse's clock tower had its coming out party on October 23, 2012 after a 14-month, $4.5 million makeover. County officials rededicated the 1895 structure and led about 150 people on a tour of the tower. In 2013, the Civil Courts Building was demolished.

The Tarrant County Courthouse currently houses the Tarrant County clerk's office, probate and county courts at law, a law library, and the Tarrant County facilities management department.

The Tarrant County Courthouse was seen in the TV series, Walker, Texas Ranger.
