Malachy Steenson (born 1962 or 1963) is an Irish far-right politician who was elected to Dublin City Council for the local electoral area of North Inner City at the 2024 local elections. He runs a general law practice, specialising in family law.
In the 1990s and 2000s, Steenson was associated with numerous left-wing Irish Republican groups, during which time he received three criminal convictions, including one from the Special Criminal Court for stealing a car. 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 espousing a hardline pro-life stance on abortion. In the 2020s, Steenson became a high-profile figure in the Irish anti-immigration protests in Dublin.
