Alpine County Courthouse is a building built in 1928 in Markleeville, California.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

The courthouse was constructed of a light cream colored massive rhyolite tuff which was quarried above nearby Silver Mountain City. Designed by prolific Nevada architect Frederic Joseph DeLongchamps, the building was originally intended to be a two-story structure but financial considerations limited it to one story. The Alpine County courthouse is still in use.[2]
