Augustus Benedict Maguire (1847 – January 7, 1924) was an American miner, mason, merchant and politician who served in the California State Assembly from 1880 to 1881, as undersheriff of San Francisco from 1893 to 1895, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors from January to June 1900, and the San Francisco Board of Public Works from 1900 to 1902.
Maguire was an unsuccessful candidate for school director in 1884 and tax collector in 1890. He was active in urban renewal efforts and was considered the "father" of the Mission District viaduct. He was also a founding member of the Young Men's Institute. After leaving public office, he worked as an inspector for the Pacific Gas and Electric Company for twenty years.
