Malachy Steenson (born 1962 or 1963)[1] is an Irish far-right[2] politician and solicitor[3] who was elected to Dublin City Council for the local electoral area of North Inner City at the 2024 local elections.[4] Steenson has a general law practice, and specialises in family law.[1]

In the 1990s and 2000s, Steenson was associated with numerous left-wing Irish Republican groups. However, by 2012, Steenson began to be associated with more rightward political positions.[5] He was expelled sometime prior to 2012 from the Workers' Party for advocating for a hardline pro-life stance on abortion.[5] In the 2020s, Steenson became a high-profile figure in the Irish anti-immigration protests in the Dublin area.[5]
