The Federal Social Court (German: Bundessozialgericht, pronounced [bʊndəszoˈtsi̯aːlɡəˌʁɪçt]) is the German federal court of appeals for social security cases, mainly cases concerning the public health insurance, long-term care insurance, pension insurance and occupational accident insurance schemes.

Appeals against decisions of these courts are heard by the Landessozialgerichte (Superior State Social Courts), before the cases may wind up at the Bundessozialgericht.

The Federal Social Court was founded on 11 September 1954 and its first session was on 23 March 1955.
