The Employment Appeal Tribunal is a tribunal non-departmental public body in England and Wales and Scotland, and is a superior court of record. Its primary role is to hear appeals from Employment Tribunals in England, Scotland and Wales.

The Tribunal may sit anywhere in Great Britain, although it is required to have an office in London. It is part of the UK tribunals system, under the administration of the Tribunals Service. Although it is a superior court of record, the Tribunal may not make a declaration of incompatibility under the Human Rights Act 1998.
