List of Jewish United States Supreme Court justices

This is a list of all Jewish people who have served as Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States.The first Jewish Supreme Court Justice was Louis Brandeis, in a contentious nomination. Towards the end of his career on the Supreme Court, Brandeis was joined by a second Jewish Justice, Benjamin Cardozo. Cardozo's seat was succeeded by three consecutive Jewish Justices. With four consecutive justices for the same seat, the seat has been nicknamed the "Jewish seat" on the Supreme Court.
