The Superior Court of Justice (Portuguese: Superior Tribunal de Justiça, STJ) is the Brazilian highest appellate court for non-constitutional issues.

A Special Appeal (in Portuguese, Recurso Especial) can be made to this court when a judgement of a court of second instance offends a federal statute disposition or when second instance courts make different rulings on the same federal statute.
