The Bledsoe County Courthouse is a historic building in Pikeville, Tennessee. It serves as the courthouse for Bledsoe County, Tennessee. It was built with red bricks by the Fall City Construction Company of Louisville, Kentucky,[2] and completed in 1909.[3] In 1908, the company sued Bledsoe County because they had failed to pay $18,000 for the construction. The county argued it had not be built as requested.[2]

The building was designed by W.K. Brown & Brothers, an architectural firm from Chattanooga, Tennessee, in the Classical Revival style.[3] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 30, 1995.[1]
