List of federal judges appointed by Jimmy Carter

Following is a list of all United States federal judges appointed by President Jimmy Carter during his presidency. In total Carter appointed 259 federal judges, including 56 judges to the courts of appeals and 203 judges to the United States district courts.

Although Carter made no appointments to the Supreme Court of the United States, two of his Court of Appeals appointees - Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg - were later appointed to the Supreme Court by Bill Clinton. Later presidents have exceeded Carter's total, itself which surpassed the previous record of 231 set by Richard Nixon, but Carter retains the record for the largest number of judicial appointments in a single term.
