The Marion County Courthouse is a Beaux-Arts style building in Fairmont, West Virginia, in the United States. The courthouse was constructed from 1897 to 1900, and was designed by W. D. Priest of the architectural firm Yost & Packard of Columbus, Ohio. Its dome is topped by a figure carrying the scales of justice.
