Steven J. Mulroy (born April 9, 1964) is the District Attorney of Shelby County, Tennessee.

He is the son of a telephone company employee who died in 1998 and a widowed housewife who currently lives in Gulf Breeze, Florida.

He attended Cornell University on a merit scholarship, spent one semester studying in Washington, D.C. through the Cornell-in-Washington program, and graduated in 1986.

In 2006, Mulroy successfully ran for the Shelby County, Tennessee Commission, representing the 5th District.

"[6] He successfully pushed for substantial increases in county funding for homelessness and pre-K education.

On January 24, 2023, Mulroy charged five Memphis police officers, who were members of the now disbanded scorpion unit, in the killing of Tyre Nichols.

[4][15] In 2006, the grass-roots group succeeded in preventing the Grand Carousel from being sold at auction, and it was instead held in storage.

[16] In 2013, Mulroy served as one of two pro bono plaintiff attorneys in an effort to prevent the demolition of the historic 19th Century Club Building, also known as the Roland Darnell House.

A lawsuit prevented the demolition of the building for about a year, while the preservationist plaintiffs appealed their loss in trial court.
