The Jerusalem District Court (Hebrew: בית המשפט המחוזי בירושלים) is located in the Jerusalem District of Israel. It was originally established by the Mandatory Palestine government and has continued its operations under the judicial system of the State of Israel since its establishment in 1948.

After the Six-Day War, the court relocated to a building located at Salah ad-Din Street in East Jerusalem.

According to Section 17 of the Basic Law: The Government, any indictment against a sitting prime minister must be submitted by the Attorney General to the Jerusalem District Court.
