Maureen Frances O'Connor (born July 14, 1946) is an American politician who served as the 31st mayor of San Diego from 1986 to 1992. A member of the Democratic Party, she was the youngest person ever to be elected to the San Diego City Council and the first woman to serve as mayor of San Diego.

In 2013, federal prosecutors charged her with money laundering, but deferred prosecution based on her agreement to pay back the funds involved.[1] The charges were formally dismissed on February 24, 2015.[2]
