The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit is a federal appellate court with appellate jurisdiction over the district courts in the following districts:

These districts were originally part of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, but were split off to form the Eleventh effective October 1, 1981 as the Eleventh Circuit Act of 1980 enacted by Congress created the Eleventh Circuit. For this reason, Fifth Circuit decisions from before this split are considered binding precedent in the Eleventh Circuit. The court is based at the Elbert P. Tuttle U.S. Court of Appeals Building in Atlanta.
