Harmeet Kaur Dhillon (born 1969) is an American lawyer and Republican Party official. She is the former vice chairwoman of the California Republican Party, and a National Committeewoman of the Republican National Committee for California.[4][5] She is the founder of a law practice called Dhillon Law Group Inc.[6] In 2018, she helped launch the 501(c)(3) nonprofit Center for American Liberty, which does legal work related to civil liberties.[7] She is a regular guest on Fox News.[8]

During the coronavirus pandemic, she filed numerous unsuccessful lawsuits to halt the implementation of stay-at-home-orders and other restrictions. She criticized face masks requirements, called for the re-opening of the economy, and opposed mail in voting.[8][9][10]

In the January 2023 election, Dhillon unsuccessfully challenged incumbent Ronna McDaniel as chairperson of the Republican National Committee.
