The Atlantic County Courthouse is the historical courthouse for Atlantic County, New Jersey located in the county seat of Mays Landing, itself a part of Hamilton Township, U.S. It now houses the Office of County Clerk. The Atlantic County Sheriff's Office and older county jails are behind the building.
