Douglas Lee LaMalfa (/ləˈmælfə/ lə-MAL-fə; July 2, 1960 – January 6, 2026) was an American politician and businessman who served as the U.S. representative for California's 1st congressional district from 2013 until his death in 2026. A member of the Republican Party, his district, formerly the second largest in the state after the 8th (now essentially the 23rd), covers nearly all of interior Northern California, including Chico, Redding, and Susanville.

A native of Oroville, LaMalfa was the California state assemblyman for the 2nd district from 2002 to 2008 and California state senator from the 4th district from 2010 to 2012.
