The Supreme Court of Zimbabwe is the highest court of order and the final court of appeal in Zimbabwe.

The judiciary is headed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court who, like the other justices, is appointed by the President on the advice of the Judicial Service Commission. It has original jurisdiction over alleged violations of fundamental rights guaranteed in the constitution and appellate jurisdiction over other matters.

The Supreme Court is separate from the High Court of Zimbabwe.
