The chief justice of St Lucia was the head of the Supreme Court of St Lucia, an island member of the Windward Islands in the West Indies.

The court was replaced by the Windward and Leeward Islands Supreme Court and the Windward and Leeward Islands Court of Appeal in 1939; both in turn were replaced in 1967 by the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court which performs both functions.
