Michael R. Dreeben (born c. 1954) is the Deputy Solicitor General 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. 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.
Dreeben has 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 second person—after Edwin Kneedler—to argue 100 cases before the Supreme Court.
Dreeben has taught as visiting faculty member at Duke Law and as adjunct professor at Georgetown Law.
