The Old Ipswich Courthouse is a heritage-listed former courthouse located at 73-75 East Street, Ipswich, Queensland. It was designed by Charles Tiffin and built from 1859 to 1936. A single-storey sandstone and brick Romanesque building, the courthouse was the earliest major Queensland work of Tiffin, who was Clerk of Works for Moreton Bay, and became the first Queensland Colonial Architect.
It is a rare example of a government building constructed in Queensland prior to separation from New South Wales. At the time of separation, the debt on the building was inherited by the Queensland Government which led to an ongoing dispute with the New South Wales Government. The size and quality of the building demonstrate the importance of Ipswich as a major centre at this time. It still contains early bench and court fittings and is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of an early courthouse.
