Entrance to the new Suffolk County Courthouse, completed in 1937 adjacent to the John Adams Courthouse, and currently home to the Suffolk County Court

The Suffolk County Courthouse (also known as the "John Adams Courthouse") is an historic courthouse building on Pemberton Square in Boston, Massachusetts that is home to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.

The Court was built in 1893. From 1893 to 1938, the Supreme Judicial Court and the Social Law Library occupied the building, known then as the Suffolk County Courthouse. In 2002, the Supreme Judicial Court and Social Library returned to the restored building, which was renamed the John Adams Courthouse. The building was added to the National Historic Register in 1974.
