'''John Newton Mitchell''' (September 5, 1913 – November 9, 1988) was an American lawyer, the 67th Attorney General of the United States under President [[Richard Nixon]], chairman of Nixon's 1968 and 1972 presidential campaigns, and a convicted criminal. Prior to that, he had been a municipal bond lawyer and one of Nixon's closest personal friends.

After his tenure as U.S. Attorney General, he served as chairman of the [[Committee for the Re-Election of the President]]. Due to multiple crimes he committed during the [[Watergate scandal]], Mitchell was sentenced to prison in 1977 and served 19 months. 

As Attorney General, he was noted for personifying the "law-and-order" positions of the Nixon Administration, amid several high-profile anti-[[Vietnam War]] demonstrations.
