Angela Elise McArdle (born June 7, 1983) is an American politician who is the chair of the Mises Caucus political action committee since June 2025. She previously served as the 22nd chair of the Libertarian National Committee (LNC) from May 2022 to February 2025, secretary of the Libertarian Party of California from April 2018 to April 2019 and a former board member and organizer of the Mises Caucus before May 2022.
Under her tenure as LNC Chair, McArdle was claimed to have played a key role in leveraging the Libertarian Party's spoiler effect into securing a pardon for Ross Ulbricht by Donald Trump, something McArdle herself denies, instead arguing that Trump had a signed pardon ready to go from 2020 that he was foiled from delivering by disloyal underlings.
