Dame Frances Jean Judd, DBE (born 13 February 1961)[1] is a British High Court judge.

She studied history at New Hall, Cambridge, completing a BA in 1982.

[2] Judd served as a recorder from 2002 to 2019, took silk in 2006 and was appointed a deputy High Court judge in 2011.

[1][3] On 3 September 2019, Judd was appointed a judge of the High Court and assigned to the Family Division.

[1] In 2020, Judd was found to have made derogatory remarks about a mother to a clerk in a care proceedings case after forgetting to mute herself on a Zoom call, suggesting the mother was pretending to have a cough; Judd's refusal to recuse herself following the comments led to her ruling being overturned by the Court of Appeal and the case was remitted to the High Court's Family Division for another judge to hear the case.
