Craig J. Coughlin (born January 31, 1958) is an American Democratic Party politician, who has served in the New Jersey General Assembly since 2010, where he represents the 19th Legislative District.

Coughlin received a B.S. degree from St. John's University and a J.D. degree from St. John's University School of Law. He served on the South Amboy Board of Education from 1983 to 1987. In 1987 he was elected to the South Amboy Borough Council, serving until 1993.[1]

He worked as an attorney before serving as a municipal court judge for Edison Township in 2005. He resigned in 2009 to run for the General Assembly seat vacated by Joseph Vas, after the Democratic candidate, South Amboy Mayor John O'Leary, dropped out of the race. On September 8, 2009, a special convention of Middlesex County Democratic Committee members selected Coughlin to appear on the general election ballot along with running mate John S. Wisniewski.[2]

Coughlin won the general election and was sworn in to office on January 12, 2010.[3]

He resides in Fords, Woodbridge Township.
