Hannah C. Dugan (born 1959) is an American attorney and judge from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She has been a Wisconsin circuit court judge for Milwaukee County since 2016. Prior to her judicial service, Dugan served as president of the Milwaukee Bar Association, as an executive director for Catholic Charities USA in south-east Wisconsin, and she worked with several legal aid organizations.
On April 25, 2025, Dugan was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and indicted for allegedly assisting an undocumented immigrant in evading arrest. The arrest received significant national attention and elicited opinions from across the political spectrum and legal profession. Opponents of the arrest have characterized her arrest as an authoritarian act by the second Trump administration, while supporters have characterized it as a proper enforcement of the law. She was suspended by the state supreme court on April 29.
