Heather L. Clah is an American and Navajo lawyer who served as the attorney general of the Navajo Nation for less than a month in 2025. A longtime legal counsel within the Navajo Nation, she was appointed deputy attorney general in 2023 and became acting attorney general in December 2024.

During her time as acting attorney general, Clah oversaw controversial negotiations to allow uranium ore transport across the reservation. She was confirmed as the permanent attorney general on July 22, 2025, but was removed from office by the Navajo Nation Council on August 6 or 7 in an 11–1 vote. The council, which had sponsored her confirmation weeks earlier, offered no public explanation for her removal, a decision Navajo Nation president Buu Nygren called "disappointing."
