The Pottawattamie County Courthouse is located in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States. The first building used for a courthouse was a log structure owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The county then rented space for their use until a courthouse was completed in 1868. That structure became unsafe and was replaced by a stone Beaux Arts-style building in 1888. It too became unsafe and it was replaced by the present Modernist structure in 1977.
