Sheriff Court is an historic building on Tay Street in Perth, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It is a Category A listed building dating to 1819. It was designed by Sir Robert Smirke, and is in the Greek Revival style. Its facade, overlooking the River Tay to the east, is notable for its ten-pillar colonnade.
The building stands on the site of the Gowrie House – the location for the Gowrie Conspiracy, which surrounded an attempt on the life of King James VI in 1600. Gowrie House is acknowledged with a bronze panel by Sir John Steell on the south wall of the present building.
