Stephen Elliott Boyd (born 1979) is an American lawyer who served as the United States Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legislative Affairs from 2017 to 2021.

In August 2017, Boyd informed Congressional leaders that the Department of Justice was ending Operation Choke Point, an Obama-era program intended to discourage banks from doing business with a range of companies and individuals deemed "high-risk," including payday lenders, firearm retailers, pornography producers and performers, dating and escort services, and distributors of racist materials.

"In the long term, we support legislation to permanently schedule fentanyl analogues as the dangerous drugs that they are while also making smart improvements to encourage medical research," Boyd said.

[11] Boyd petitioned Congress for more money to improve the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System after firearm sales spiked in 2019.

[13] Boyd and Attorney General William Barr worked with the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives to draft legislation to reauthorize three expiring provisions of the FISA law and reform the FBI's use of the surveillance tool.

[14] In response, Boyd said, "Although that legislation was approved with a large, bipartisan House majority, the Senate thereafter made significant changes that the Department opposed because they would unacceptably impair our ability to pursue terrorists and spies.

He asked "why the Committee would possibly seek to disclose classified and law enforcement sensitive information without first consulting with the relevant members of the intelligence community" and went on to mention that the Justice Department was "currently unaware of any wrongdoing relating to the FISA process," but that such allegations would be taken seriously, writing "we agree that any abuse of that system cannot be tolerated.

[28] On December 9, 2019, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz issued a report titled "Review of Four FISA Applications and Other Aspects of the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane Investigation".
