The Lafayette County Courthouse in Oxford, Mississippi, is an Italianate county courthouse listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a Mississippi Landmark. Built in 1871, its current structure dates to 1872, replacing an earlier building burned by Union troops during the Civil War.
