The Charles City County Courthouse is a historic county courthouse located at Charles City, Charles City County, Virginia. It was built about 1730, and is a one-story, "T"-shaped, brick structure. It has an apparently original modillion cornice and a steep hipped roof covered in tin. It features an arcaded front.
