Edward P. Mangano (born March 24, 1962) is an American former politician and disbarred attorney from the state of New York.[2] A Republican, he was the Nassau County Executive from January 2010 to December 2017, and a former legislator in Nassau County, New York. He was elected in 1995 and served seven terms as a county legislator.[1] In November 2009, he defeated incumbent Thomas R. Suozzi for Nassau County Executive. In November 2013, he was re-elected, again defeating Suozzi, by 59% to 41%.[3]

In October 2016, a 13-count federal indictment for fraud and bribery was unsealed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against Mangano, his wife Linda, and Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto.[4] He did not seek reelection in 2017.[5] He and his wife were both convicted in March 2019 and faced up to 20 years in prison.[6] In April 2022, Mangano was sentenced to 12 years in prison for felonies and has since reported to prison on September 13, 2022 pending appeal.[7]
