Townsville Magistrates Court is a heritage-listed former courthouse and now theatre at 81 Sturt Street, Townsville, Queensland. It was designed by Francis Drummond Greville Stanley and built from 1874 to 1876 by J & J Rooney. It is a single-storeyed brick building and took two years to complete due to a shortage of suitable brick clay.
The building functioned as a courthouse for almost 100 years. With the construction of new court facilities in Walker Street, the old structure was threatened with demolition. Community agitation saved the building and it was purchased by the Townsville City Council in the early 1970s. It is significant historically as evidence of the early consolidation of Townsville as a government administrative centre in northern Queensland, and in illustrating the early use of brick in Townsville.
