Miami County Courthouse is a historic courthouse located at Peru, Miami County, Indiana. It was built between 1908 and 1910, and is a three-story, steel frame, concrete-and-brick building sheathed in a veneer of Bedford limestone. It features a projecting portico with freestanding two-story Tuscan order columns in the Classical Revival. The building has a flat roof topped by a squat four-sided square dome. The property includes an additional 33 contributing objects, such as a bell with stand, "Lady Liberty" statue (commonly known by many as "Statue of liberty"), retaining wall, 12 architectural lamps, and 6 street lamps.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]
