Dana Murphy is an American politician who served as a member of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission from 2009 to 2023. Murphy was a candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma in the 2018 election.

Murphy ran for a full term in 2010 and handily won the primary election. As no Democrat or independent candidate filed, Murphy thus retained her seat.[1]
Murphy was elected chairman by her fellow commissioners effective February 1, 2017.[2]
On July 27, 2017, Murphy announced that she would run for lieutenant governor in the 2018 election.[3]
