The title of Chief Justice of the Northern Territory refers to the highest judicial position in the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory.
The Supreme Court of the Northern Territory was established in 1911.
The Northern Territory gained Self-Government in 1978 and by that time had four resident judges.
In 1975 the position was renamed to Chief Judge, with Sir William Forster the only person to hold that position, from 1977 to 1979.
Forster uniquely held 3 different titles relating to the same position, that of Senior Judge, Chief Judge and Chief Justice, when the position title was changed again in 1979.
