The Woonsocket District Courthouse is an historic court building on 24 Front Street in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.

The courthouse, a two-story stone structure, was designed in 1894 in a Romanesque style by William R. Walker & Son and built by Norton & Allaire. The building served as the location for the Fifth Division of the District Court, until it merged into Providence's 6th Division.[2] The building has been repurposed into residences.
