The Sheriff of Banff was historically the office responsible for enforcing law and order and bringing criminals to justice in Banff, Scotland.

Prior to 1748 most sheriffdoms were held on a hereditary basis. From that date, following the Jacobite rising of 1745, the hereditary sheriffs were replaced by salaried sheriff-deputes, qualified advocates who were members of the Scottish Bar.

Following a merger of sheriffdoms it became the Sheriff of Banff, Elgin & Nairn in 1854[1] and the Sheriff of Aberdeen, Kincardine & Banff in 1882.[2]
