The Old Carleton County Court House is located at 19 Court Street in Upper Woodstock, New Brunswick, Canada.
The Court house was built in 1833. A new court house was constructed, obviating the need for the old one, which was used as a horse barn until 1966 when it was purchased by the Carleton County Historical Society. It was designated as a protected heritage site in 1977.
It is open to the public Monday to Saturday from 11am-7pm from July 1 to August 31, Monday to Saturday, and at other times by appointment. The Victorian Christmas Concert is held here on the last weekend in November.

—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“In Tsegihi,
In the house made of dawn,
In the house made of the evening twilight,
In the house made of the dark cloud, ...
Oh, male divinity!
With your moccasins of dark cloud, come to us.”
