Michael R. Bromwich (born December 19, 1953) is an American litigation attorney who was the inspector general of the U.S. Justice Department from 1994 to 1999.

He was appointed as director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement on June 15, 2010, in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

He subsequently received a master's degree in public policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government, as well as a J.D.

On September 22, Bromwich announced he would also be joining the legal team of Christine Blasey Ford, the college professor who earlier that month publicly alleged that U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in 1982, when they were both teenagers, in what she described as an attempted rape.

[8] In early 2015, in the midst of Apple's legal challenge to the imposition of a special monitor, the editorial page of Wall Street Journal criticized Bromwich for charging exorbitant fees for his services, and agreed with Apple that he was wandering outside of the bounds of his mandate from the Court, while also suggesting that his selection for the assignment in the first place had more to do with his long-standing political connections to Judge Cote than with any relevant experience.
