Timothy Lionel DeFoor (born 1961 or 1962) is an American politician who is serving as the 50th Pennsylvania auditor general since 2021. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as controller of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania from 2016 to 2021.
DeFoor's victory in the 2020 Pennsylvania Auditor General election made him the first African American and person of color to win an election to a statewide executive office in Pennsylvania, and the second to hold statewide office following Tim Reese. Upon taking office as auditor general, DeFoor also became the first Republican to hold that office since Barbara Hafer, who left office in 1997.
