Guilford Courthouse is a two-player board wargame published by Game Designers' Workshop in 1978 that simulates the March 1781 Battle of Guilford Court House in North Carolina, where a small British force of professionals met a much larger colonial force of mainly militia. One player commands the British and the other the rebels on a small hex-grid map, using a simple alternating move-and-fire turn with rules for morale, special troop types and leaders. A game lasts eighteen turns and can be finished in two hours or less. It was among the first of the Series 120 games, which used no more than 120 counters and were meant to play in under 120 minutes. It was designed by Frank Chadwick, Marc Miller and Greg Novak, and reissued in 1980 as a boxed set titled The Battle of Guilford Courthouse.
