The Camden County Courthouse (or Old Camden County Courthouse) is a two-story courthouse in the US city of Woodbine, Georgia.

The building was designed by Julian de Bruyn Kops (1862–1942). Since its completion in 1928, it has served not only as a courthouse for Georgia's Camden County, but also as a venue for meetings, commerce, and other functions.
It was nominated for the NRHP as Georgia's only 20th-century example of Late Gothic Revival architecture.{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=80000983}}|title=Thematic National Register Nomination - Georgia Courthouses - Architectural Survey Form: Camden County Courthouse|publisher=National Park Service|access-date=2016-08-08 |author= |date=1980 }} It sports a brick façade, castellated portico and parapets, and rectangular windows with crown molding.
