List of JCPC judges — Canadian constitutional cases is a list of the judges of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council who gave judgments in Canadian constitutional law cases between 1873 and 1959. From Confederation in 1867 until 1949, the Judicial Committee was the final court of appeal for Canada, as part of the British Empire. The Parliament of Canada abolished the right of appeal in 1949, although cases which were begun before that date could still be appealed to the Judicial Committee. The decisions of the Judicial Committee had a substantial influence on Canadian constitutional law, particularly in the area of the division of powers between the federal and provincial governments.

The following list of cases is based on the three volume set of Judicial Committee decisions on constitutional law prepared and published by the federal Department of Justice following the abolition of appeals. The list includes some additional cases which deal with constitutional issues but which were not in that collection. Unless otherwise specified, references are to sections of the Constitution Act, 1867 (formerly known as the British North America Act, 1867).
