The City Attorney of San Francisco is an elected position in the City and County of San Francisco, California. While city-county consolidation resulted in the unified government attaining both a city and district attorney, the two positions are separate and serve different purposes.
The City Attorney is assisted by a number of Assistant City Attorneys.
