The Allegheny County Sheriff's Office (ACSO) is a local county law enforcement agency that serves both Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. It primarily provides court, warrant, bailiff, and jail/prisoner transport services for the county. In some jurisdictions it also supplements local law enforcement by providing reserve forces for backup. The Sheriff is an elected office. The ACSO has some oversight of Pittsburgh International Airport, which is located in the county.

The first sheriff to be elected in Allegheny County was James Morrison, who took office in January 1789, soon after the United States gained independence from Great Britain in the Revolutionary War.
