The Inspector General of the Federal Courts is a position proposed in both houses of the United States Congress. An Inspector General would conduct investigations of alleged misconduct of federal judges, act to prevent fraud and waste, and recommend changes to the judicial branch. Differences exist between the Senate and House versions of the bill, such as whether the justices of the Supreme Court of the United States would be subject to the authority of this position. This position has been proposed several times, at least in 2009, 2011 and 2013.

The bill was also reintroduced by Representative Sensenbrenner in the House on the same day, named H.R. 1203: Judicial Transparency and Ethics Enhancement Act of 2013
