Ryan Wesley Bounds (born June 28, 1973) is an American attorney previously serving as an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Oregon.

Bounds had been a nominee for a position as a United States circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, but his controversial nomination narrowly lost bipartisan support for confirmation in the Senate when it was revealed that, as an undergraduate, Bounds wrote columns criticizing outrage over vandalism of a gay pride statue. In July 2018, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that President Donald Trump would withdraw the nomination.
