U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona Courthouse, Phoenix, circa 1961.

The United States District Court for the District of Arizona (in case citations, D. Ariz.) is the federal district court whose jurisdiction is the state of Arizona. Court is held in the cities of Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff, Yuma, and Prescott. The district was created on June 20, 1910, by 36 Stat. 557. By that statute, the United States Congress organized Arizona as one judicial district, authorized one judgeship for the court, and assigned the district to the Ninth Circuit. The act became effective upon the admission of the State of Arizona on February 14, 1912.[1]

Cases from the District of Arizona are appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (except for patent claims and claims against the U.S. government under the Tucker Act, which are appealed to the Federal Circuit). From 1930 to 2000, Tucson courts were housed in the James A. Walsh U.S. Courthouse. Presently, courts are located in the Sandra Day O'Connor United States Courthouse in downtown Phoenix. Following the murder (during the 2011 Tucson shooting, by Jared Loughner) of the Arizona District's Chief Judge at the time, Judge John M. Roll, a federal courthouse named for him that will serve the District in Yuma, Arizona (as stated, where court is now held) has had ground broken for a 2013 completion date.

The United States Attorney's Office for the District of Arizona represents the United States in civil and criminal litigation in this court. The current United States Attorney is Dennis Burke.
