Sushila Karki (Nepali: सुशीला कार्की) (born 7 June 1952 in Biratnagar) is a Nepalese jurist. She is the former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Nepal and the only woman to have held the post. Karki became Chief Justice on 11 July 2016. The Constitutional Council headed by the Prime Minister KP Oli recommended her for the post.

On 30 April 2017, an impeachment motion was submitted in the Parliament against Karki, by Maoist Centre and Nepali Congress.[5] However, the impeachment motion was later withdrawn after public pressure and an interim order by the Supreme Court ordering the Parliament not to proceed with the motion.
