Fourteen. They are: the United States Courts of Appeal for the eleven Circuits, the United States Court of Appeal for the District of Columbia Circuit, the United States Court of Appeal for the Federal Circuit, and the United States Court of Appeal for the Armed Forces. Usually the thirteen Circuit Courts of Appeal are considered the regular federal appellate courts. The U.S. Court of Appeal for the Federal Circuit and the U.S. Court of Appeal for the Armed Forces are courts of limited and specified subject-matter jurisdiction.

The US Courts of Appeals Circuit Courts are the thirteen intermediate appellate courts immediately below the US Supreme Court. Twelve of the Circuit Courts hear cases on appeal from US District Courts (trial) within their territorial jurisdiction; the thirteenth court, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, has national subject-matter jurisdiction over cases initially held in the US Court of Claims, as well as appeals of patent, copyright, and a few other classes of cases.
Each Supreme Court justice has responsibility for handling emergency petitions for one or more of the Circuit Courts, which is a remnant of the "circuit riding" tradition, in which the Supreme Court justices traveled the circuits throughout the year, hearing cases in local forums.
