Caroline County Courthouse is a historic county courthouse located at Bowling Green, Caroline County, Virginia. It was built about 1830, and is a two-story, four bay wide, brick temple form building in the Jeffersonian Roman Revival style. The building is surrounded by a Tuscan entablature with a Tuscan pediment at either end. The front facade features an open arcade one-bay deep on the ground floor with six rounded arches.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1] It is included in the Bowling Green Historic District.

In front of the courthouse is the Caroline County Confederate Monument. On August 25, 2020, the Caroline County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to remove it.[4]
