Patrick Leo Meehan (born October 20, 1955) is a former American politician and federal prosecutor who served as a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives, who represented Pennsylvania's 7th congressional district.
He was first elected in 2010 and resigned his seat in 2018.
The district includes parts of Delaware County, Chester, Montgomery County, Berks, and Lancaster.
He succeeded Democrat Joe Sestak, who ran unsuccessfully for the United States Senate. A graduate of Bowdoin College and Temple University, Meehan previously served as United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (2001–2008) and as district attorney of Delaware County, Pennsylvania (1996–2001). In January 2018, following the revelation that he used taxpayers' money to settle a sexual harassment claim brought by a female staff member, Meehan announced that he would retire from Congress at the end of his current term, and not seek re-election in 2018.
On April 27, 2018, Meehan resigned and said he would pay back the taxpayer funds used for the settlement.
Democrat Mary Gay Scanlon won both a special and general election on the day of that year's midterms in November to succeed him.
