Michelle Margaret Mulherin (born 20 January 1972) is an Irish Fine Gael politician who has served as a Senator since May 2016, upon being Nominated by the Taoiseach. She previously served as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Mayo constituency from 2011 to 2016.
She was elected as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Mayo constituency at the 2011 general election. She was elected to Ballina Town Council in 1999 and has also served as a Mayo County Councillor from 2004 until her election to Dáil Éireann in 2011. Mulherin unsuccessfully stood for election in the Mayo constituency at the 2007 general election. She lost her seat at the 2016 general election.
Mulherin was nominated by the Taoiseach Enda Kenny to the 25th Seanad in May 2016.
In March 2011 Mulherin criticised the Libyan National Transitional Council during the 2011 Libyan Civil War, saying that it was an "internal matter" and that "oil was what made Libya 'special' and the external interference from countries such as the US is worrying". Mulherin was not disciplined for her comments, which dissented against the official Fine Gael policy.
