Couy Dale Griffin (born 1973) is an American former politician who served from 2019 to 2022 as a county commissioner for District 2 of Otero County, New Mexico, which covers Tularosa, Three Rivers, La Luz, the western parts of Alamogordo, and the Mescalero Apache Reservation. In September 2022, Griffin was removed from office pursuant to the Insurrection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution due to his actions in the January 6 United States Capitol attack, for which he was pardoned in January 2025. He is a member of the Republican Party.

In 2018, incumbent district 2 commissioner Susan Flores did not seek re-election, and Griffin joined the race to succeed her. On June 5, Griffin won the Republican primary with 708 votes (55%) against Christopher Rupp and Gregory Bose, who garnered 252 (20%) and 317 (25%) votes respectively. Griffin won the general election on November 6, 2018, with 3,090 votes (65%) against Democrat Christopher Jones with 1,635 votes. He took office in January 2019.

In May 2020, Griffin stated and repeated the assertion that "the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat," while adding after applause that he spoke only in a political sense, "because the Democrat agenda and policy is anti-American right now." A week and a half later, his political action committee, Cowboys for Trump, tweeted out footage of the moment, which President Donald Trump retweeted. In an interview, Griffin expressed gratitude "that the president of the United States has my back."

Amid Donald Trump's false claims of election fraud in the 2020 presidential election, the county commission aligned itself with fringe right-wing groups that baselessly claimed voter fraud. The county commissioners hired a firm run by election conspiracy promoter Shiva Ayyadurai, who had worked on a partisan audit of the election results in Maricopa County, Arizona. As with Maricopa County's audit of the election results, no evidence of fraud was found in the results for Otero County.

In 2021, a committee began circulating a petition to recall Griffin from office, accusing him of missing numerous county meetings, improperly filing a travel voucher, acting in a way that got him banned from the Mescalero Apache Reservation, and using county resources to further his group Cowboys for Trump. The committee fell short of the required signatures, getting only 1,229 of the required 1,574 signatures by the September 29 deadline.

On three occasions in 2022, an Otero County resident who attended public county commission meetings was silenced by Griffin; on at least one occasion, Griffin ordered sheriff's deputies to remove the citizen from the meeting. The resident, represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico, subsequently received a $45,000 settlement from Otero County. In announcing the settlement, the man said: "I was mocked, yelled at, silenced, and roughly thrown out of public hearings simply because I had a different opinion than the predominant conservative view – namely that the election wasn't stolen. I was treated like someone who committed a crime. I hope this settlement makes clear that all Otero County residents, regardless of their political background, have the right to express their opinions freely without intimidation at county commission meetings."

Following the July 2022 primary election, Griffin and the two other Otero County commissioners initially refused to certify the election results for Otero County, and making baseless suggestions of some irregularity in the counting. New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver sued the commission, seeking to compel it to complete its certification duty. After the New Mexico Supreme Court ordered the commission to certify the election, the two other commissioners relented and complied, enacting the certification via a majority vote, but Griffin refused. Griffin said of his stance: "It's not based on any facts. It's only based on my gut feeling and my own intuition, and that's all I need." Toulouse Oliver said that the state supreme court's decision prevented a breakdown in the election system and condemned "rogue" officials whose actions risked "completely disenfranchising all of the voters who came out in their county and not seeing their candidates move on to the general election."

Griffin is the founder of the group Cowboys for Trump. Originally it had 13 members. Members of the political action committee (PAC) rode horseback to political events and protests.
