Following is a list of all Article III United States federal judges appointed by President Richard Nixon during his presidency. In total Nixon appointed 235 Article III federal judges, surpassing the previous record of 193 set by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Among these were 4 Justices to the Supreme Court of the United States (including 1 Chief Justice), 45 judges to the United States Courts of Appeals, 179 judges to the United States district courts, 3 judges to the United States Court of Customs and Patent Appeals, 3 judges to the United States Court of Claims and 1 judge to the United States Customs Court.
None of Nixon's appointees remain in active service, however 2 appellate judges and 1 district judge remain on senior status. Three additional district judges appointed by Nixon are in senior status as appellate judges by the appointment of later presidents.
* Warren E. Burger was Nixon's pick for Chief Justice.
* Nixon named William Rehnquist to the Supreme Court, enabling his later elevation to Chief Justice.
* John Paul Stevens, appointed by Nixon to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, would later serve on the Supreme Court.
* Hiram Emory Widener, Jr. of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit was Nixon's longest-serving active Court of Appeals appointee.
