The '''Sikkim High Court''' is the [[High Courts of India|High Court]] of the Indian state of [[Sikkim]]. The history of the court can be traced back to 1955, when the High Court of Judicature (Jurisdiction and Powers) Proclamation, 1955 was issued to establish a High Court in Sikkim. Upon merger, Sikkim became the 22nd State of India. Under Clause ''(i) of Article 371F'', the High Court functioning immediately prior to the date of merger became the High Court for the State of Sikkim under the Constitution like any other High Court in the country. It was established in 1975.

The seat of the court is at [[Gangtok]], the administrative [[List of Indian state and union territory capitals|capital]] of the state. With a sanctioned court strength of 3 judges, the Sikkim High Court is the smallest High Court of India.
