A Solicitor General or Solicitor-General, in common law countries, is usually a legal officer who is the chief representative of a regional or national government in courtroom proceedings. In systems that have an Attorney General (or equivalent position), the Solicitor General is often the second-ranked law officer of the state and a deputy of the Attorney General. The extent to which a Solicitor General actually provides legal advice to or represent the government in court varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and sometimes between individual office holders in the same jurisdiction.

- Michigan Solicitor General, the top appellate advocate for the State of Michigan
- Solicitor General of Ohio, the top appellate advocate in the state of Ohio
