Gordon J. MacDonald (born November 27, 1961) is an American lawyer serving as the 30th and current Attorney General of New Hampshire since 2017.[1][2][3][4] A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as a law clerk to Norman H. Stahl of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit from 1994 to 1995 and as chief of staff in 1990 and legislative director from 1985 to 1990 to Senator Gordon J. Humphrey.[1]

On June 4, 2019, MacDonald was nominated as the next Chief Justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court, replacing Robert Lynn who faced mandatory retirement.[5] On July 10, 2019, the Executive Council of New Hampshire declined to confirm MacDonald as Chief Justice in a 3-2 party-line vote.[6]
