The Court of Appeal of Uganda (also constituted as the Constitutional Court of Uganda) is the second-highest judicial organ in Uganda. It derives its powers from Article 134 of the 1995 Constitution.

It is an appellate court when hearing cases appealed from the High Court of Uganda. However, it has original jurisdiction when adjudicating matters relating to the constitutionality of matters before it.

All judgments by the Court of Appeal are theoretically appealable to the Supreme Court of Uganda if the Supreme Court decides to hear the appeal.
