The Urbain Cote Round Barn near Dunseith, North Dakota, United States, is a round barn that was built in 1943. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The owners, the Cote family, were French-Canadian immigrants from Eastern Canada.
Its hay loft floor has "double floor boards, an unusual expenditure of materials in hay loft floors. The barn was used by roller skaters during the 1950's and shows little wear or sagging."
In a 1976 State Historical Society of North Dakota survey, the barn was identified as the only surviving barn of its type. A 1986 survey about round barn locations found it to be the barn "most frequently mentioned".
