Eugene Michael Hyman[2] (born May 14, 1950)[3] is an American retired judge, lawyer, and former police officer.

Hyman served on the Superior Court of Santa Clara County for almost 20 years, and is a legal analyst.[4][5] He helped create and serves in the field of therapeutic jurisprudence, a philosophy and system that advocates treatment for particular categories of offenders, such as domestic violence, which is his specialty.[4][6] Hyman has presided over cases in the criminal, family, probate, civil, and delinquency divisions of the court. He is an opponent of the three-strikes law[7] and considered an "international expert on preventing juvenile, family, and domestic violence".[6] Hyman was elected and took his oath of office on January 8, 1997.[3] Hyman retired from the bench and was replaced by Shelyna V. Brown.

Hyman is the first American to receive the United Nations Public Service Award.[8] Hyman presided over the first family/juvenile violence court in the United States to focus exclusively on teenage victims and perpetrators.[9][10]
