The Cheyenne County Courthouse in Cheyenne Wells, Colorado is a Georgian Revival-style building that was built in 1908 and first used in 1909. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1989.[1]

It was deemed significant for its association with the rapid homesteading of Cheyenne County which was created just 20 years before the courthouse was built, and for its architecture. It was designed by noted Colorado architect John J. Huddart.[2]

It was renovated and extended to the back in 1983.[2]
