Michael R. Dreeben (born c. 1954) is a former Deputy Solicitor General who was in charge of the U.S. Department of Justice criminal docket before the United States Supreme Court. He is recognized as an expert in U.S. criminal law.

Dreeben had a lengthy career in the Solicitor General's office, starting as an Assistant in 1988, then promoted to Deputy in 1995. In his first case before the Supreme Court, United States v. Halper (1989), he was opposed by John Roberts, who later became Chief Justice. In 2016 Dreeben became only the seventh person to argue 100 cases before the Supreme Court. In 2017, he was enlisted by special counsel Robert Mueller to assist the investigation of Russia's interventions into the 2016 U.S. presidential election. By December 2023 he had joined the Smith special counsel investigation of former president Donald Trump, as the special counsel petitioned the United States Supreme Court to swiftly decide whether Trump has immunity from criminal prosecution.

Dreeben is a Distinguished Lecturer at Georgetown Law, and has previously taught at Harvard Law School and Duke University Law School. In 2020 he became a partner at O'Melveny & Myers.
