The Appellate Division Courthouse of New York State (also known as Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York) is a historic court house located at 27 Madison Avenue at East 25th Street, across from Madison Square Park, in Manhattan, New York City.

The limestone Beaux-Arts courthouse was designed by James Brown Lord and built in 1896-1899.[2] It is considered to be an "outstanding" example of the City Beautiful Movement.[2] The exterior – which features sculptures on subjects related to law by Daniel Chester French, Frederick Ruckstuhl,[2] Philip Martiny, Karl Bitter, Herbert Adams, Edward C. Potter [3] and ten others – was designated a New York City landmark in 1966,[2] and the interior – which features alllegorical murals by Edwin Bashfield, Kenyon Cox, H. Siddons Mowbray and seven other American artists, as well as specially-designed furniture by Herter Brothers [2] – in 1981.[2] The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
