Palace of Justice, Federal courthouse in Putrajaya, Malaysia.

The Palace of Justice (Istana Kehakiman) is a courthouse complex in Precinct 3 of Putrajaya, designed by aQidea Architects under principal architect AR Ahmad Rozi Abd Wahab. It consists of a five-storey judiciary block and a two-storey courts and offices building, linked by a large central rotunda atrium. Its facade draws on Classical Islamic, Moorish and Palladian models, with a dome, columns and arched gateways.

In August 1999 the government announced a new Palace of Justice in Putrajaya to house the Federal Court and Court of Appeal, then at the Sultan Abdul Samad Building in Kuala Lumpur. Built on a 3.3-hectare site at a cost of RM362 million, the complex was completed in 2003. The Federal Court first sat there on 27 October 2003, and in 2007 the cabinet renamed the building Istana Kehakiman.

The name was changed from the English "Palace of Justice" to the Malay "Istana Kehakiman" in September 2007, when the Cabinet ruled that major government buildings should carry Malay names. In May 2008 MP Karpal Singh asked in the Dewan Rakyat whether the change was linked to the opposition party Parti Keadilan Rakyat. Visitors may photograph the facade, whose dome, columns and arches draw on Moorish design.

The complex is entered from the Putrajaya Boulevard side, facing the Putrajaya Corporation headquarters in Precinct 3. Inside, a large central rotunda links the floors: the library sits on the lower level beside the entrance, Federal Court and Court of Appeal hearing rooms on the first floor, registries on the second and third, and judges' chambers on the fourth and fifth. Parking is split between judges, staff and the public.

The Palace of Justice was the backdrop of Malaysia's 46th National Day celebration on 31 August 2003, the first held in Putrajaya, with the VVIP grandstand placed directly in front of the new building. The Federal Court sat there for the first time on 27 October 2003, heard by Chief Judge of Malaya Haidar Mohd Noor with judges Siti Norma Yaakob and Rahmah Hussain.
