The County Court is a Georgian townhouse on Quay Street in Manchester, England, that served as the city's county court from 1878 to 1990. It was the home of the politician and reformer Richard Cobden, and later the site of Owens College, the forerunner of the University of Manchester. In origin, it is a townhouse of the 1770s, described as "the best preserved Georgian house in the [city] centre". The house is built of brick and has a late 19th-century doorcase. It was designated a Grade II* listed building on 3 October 1974. The interior is not original.
