Julie Ann Su (born February 19, 1969) is an American attorney and politician who has been the Deputy Mayor of New York City for Economic Justice since 2026. She was the United States Deputy Secretary of Labor from 2021 until 2025. She was the Secretary of the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency from 2019 until 2021 during Governor Gavin Newsom's administration.

In November 2020, Su was named a candidate for United States Secretary of Labor in the Joe Biden administration. On February 13, 2021, Biden nominated her to be United States Deputy Secretary of Labor. On July 13, 2021 Su was confirmed to the role by the United States Senate, in a 50–47 party line vote.

In February 2023, President Biden nominated Su to serve as the United States Secretary of Labor. She became Acting Labor Secretary when Walsh officially left the post on March 11, 2023. However, the United States Senate never confirmed her nomination and she remained as acting secretary until the end of the Biden administration in 2025.

After the election of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City, Su was picked to be the first deputy mayor for economic justice, taking office in March 2026.
