This is a list of Justices of the High Court of Justice of England and Wales, the puisne judges of the court. They serve in addition to the High Court's ex officio members:
Within months of appointment, male judges are made knights bachelor, and female judges are made Dame Commanders of the British Empire (DBE). In addition, all High Court judges are entitled to the judicial style Mr/Mrs Justice X'.
The number of Justices of the High Court is limited to 108, and the Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993 mandates that they, along with other senior judges throughout the UK retire at 70 years of age. Judges appointed before 31 March 1995 are excepted and may wait to retire at 75. As of 2017 those remaining on the High Court bench are Mr Justice Collins and Mr Justice Holman. Lady Justice Arden and Lord Justice Longmore, now members of the Court of Appeal, also qualify, as does Baroness Hale of Richmond in the Supreme Court.
