Margaret E. "Meg" Curran served as United States Attorney for Rhode Island from 1998 to 2003.

The most notable case during Curran's tenure was the prosecution of the Operation Plunder Dome, which led to the conviction of Providence mayor Buddy Cianci on conspiracy charges. Curran, who was one of only 12 U.S. Attorneys appointed by President Bill Clinton to keep their posts after the election of George W. Bush, stepped down in 2003 because she has multiple sclerosis.^[1]

She currently serves as the chair of Rhode Island's Health Benefits Exchange Advisory Board.^{[citation needed]}
