Orin Gould Murfin (April 13, 1876 – October 22, 1956) was an admiral in the United States Navy.
Murfin served as the commanding officer of Albany in 1916, Concord, 1923-1925 and of West Virginia, 1928-29. From 1931-34, he was the Navy's Judge Advocate General.
He also served as Commander-in-Chief, Asiatic Fleet, 1935-36. From there, Murfin became the commandant of the 14th Naval District, where he led the Navy's participation in the search for Amelia Earhart when her plane went missing in 1937.
Following his retirement, Murfin served as the President of the Navy Court of Inquiry following the attack on Pearl Harbor; their conclusions were regarded as too lenient by Forrestal, see Edward C. Kalbfus.
