The historic Renville County Courthouse in Mohall, North Dakota was built starting in April 1936 and dedicated on June 25, 1937. Its construction was enabled by a $51,650 grant provided by the federal Public Works Administration (PWA). The Moderne building, which was also built as a jail, is still in service.

Construction is sometimes mis-attributed to the Works Progress Administration (WPA).

The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
