Malachy Steenson (born 1962 or 1963) is an Irish far-right politician and lawyer who was elected to Dublin City Council for the local electoral area of North Inner City at the 2024 local elections. Steenson has a general law practice, and specialises in family law.
In the 1990s and 2000s, Steenson was associated with numerous left-wing Irish Republican groups. However, by 2012, Steenson began to be associated with more rightward political positions. He was expelled sometime prior to 2012 from the Workers' Party for advocating for a hardline pro-life stance on abortion. In the 2020s, Steenson became a high-profile figure in the Irish anti-immigration protests in the Dublin area.
