Maggy Krell (born 1978) is an American lawyer and politician who is currently a member-elect of the California State Assembly from the 6th district. Prior to being elected, she had served as a Deputy Attorney General of California and was part of Kamala Harris's team after Harris was elected Attorney General. While working with Harris, Krell led the investigation into Backpage, aiming to prove the site's involvement in pimping, although the charges were dropped twice. She left Harris's team in 2018 to join a California affiliate of Planned Parenthood.
Her first political campaign was in 2014, when she ran for Sacramento County District Attorney but lost to Anne Marie Schubert. In 2024, she initially announced her candidacy for Mayor of Sacramento but later pivoted to run for the California State Assembly, where she faced Republican trade specialist Nikki Ellis.
