The John M. Roll U.S. Courthouse is a United States federal courthouse for the United States District Court for the District of Arizona located in Yuma, Arizona. The building also is home to a United States Marshals Service office.

It is named after Judge John M. Roll who was killed in the 2011 Tucson shooting and who was serving as the Chief District Judge for the District of Arizona.[2]

The 60,000 square foot building houses two courtrooms, judges' chambers, jury rooms, U.S. Marshals facilities and district court and bankruptcy court services.[3]
