'''Paul Mirengoff''' (born April 17, 1949) is a retired [[Lawyer|attorney]] and [[blog]]ger at [[Power Line]], a conservative blog.

Mirengoff graduated from [[Dartmouth College]] in 1971, and from [[Stanford University|Stanford Law School]] in 1974. He formerly practiced law in Washington D.C. as a partner at [[Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld]]. For several years, he worked for the [[Equal Employment Opportunity Commission]]. He started writing articles for publications including the ''[[Washington Post]]'', the ''[[Weekly Standard]]'' and ''[[Front Page]]''. He currently resides in [[Bethesda, Maryland]] with his wife and two daughters. He supports [[Everton F.C.|Everton Football Club]], an English soccer club, and often blogs about them.

He became a fellow of the [[Claremont Institute]], a conservative institute. Mirengoff formed Power Line, in May 2002 with [[John Hinderaker]] and [[Scott W. Johnson]], also fellows of the Claremont Institute. He originally used his nickname Deacon in posting to the blog. The blog gradually built a strong following amongst conservative Americans, winning praise from such notable conservatives as [[Rich Lowry]], the editor of ''[[National Review]]'', [[Mark Steyn]] and [[Michelle Malkin]].

Mirengoff left Powerline in January 2011 following a controversial post (since removed) disparaging the inclusion of a Native American ritual which was part of a memorial service following shootings at a [[Gabrielle Giffords]] rally. Days later, on January 28, 2011 Mirengoff posted on the blog that he was leaving it. He returned to Powerline in April, 2012.
