The Supreme Court of Mexico, formally the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (Spanish: Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación; SCJN) is highest court in Mexico and the apex of the Mexican federal judiciary.

Judges of the SCJN are appointed for 12 years. They are ratified through affirmation by the Senate from a list proposed by the president of the republic. The ministers chosen will select from among themselves who shall be the president of the court to serve a four-year period; any given minister may serve out more than one term as president, but may not do so consecutively.
