A county attorney in the United States is the prosecutor for a county or local judicial district. Many states that do not have county attorneys have instead state's attorneys or commonwealth's attorney; and many municipalities have district attorneys. In many states this is an elected position.

Federal crimes are prosecuted by a United States Attorney.
