Stephen M. Wagstaffe (born 1952) is an American prosecutor. He has served as the District Attorney for San Mateo County since 2010. . He was previously the deputy district attorney for San Mateo.

Early Life and Education
Stephen attended Notre Dame University in Indiana. After graduating in 1974, he attended the University of California Hastings College of Law.

Career
Wagstaffe began his career as an intern with the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office in 1977. He ran unopposed for DA in 2010, 2014, and 2018.

Wagstaffe was president of the California District Attorneys Association in 2016

Death Penalty
Wagstaffe campaigned against California Proposition 66 (2016), a statewide ballot initiative to abolish the death penalty. When Governor Gavin Newsom placed a moratorium on the death penalty in 2019, Wagstaffe said "I am disappointed that (Newsom) is overriding the will of the people and didn’t make it clear that he would do so during his campaign," and stated he would continue to pursue the death penalty.

In 2018, Wagstaffe was one of three District Attorneys to take court action to be able to begin litigating death penalty cases, asking to intervene in a federal lawsuit filed by a group of death row inmates against the state over legal injection protocols. The district attorneys asked the court to lift a stay of execution that was granted to five death row inmates, 2 of whom were convicted in San Mateo County. The district attorney's request was denied in 2018.

In 2021, Wagstaffe along with San Bernardino and Riverside district attorneys X and Y asked California’s First District Court of Appeals to let lethal injections resume. The ACLU of Northern California has called this action a "brazen overreach."
