Abbie Carmichael is an Assistant District Attorney on Law & Order portrayed by model/actress Angie Harmon. The character was regularly featured from 1998 to 2001. Unlike many of her predecessors, Carmichael is characterized as a staunch political conservative. She is pro-life, opposes gun control, favors the death penalty, and has little to no faith in criminal rehabilitation programs.

Carmichael also appeared in the spinoff series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit until 2000, when Alexandra Cabot was introduced as a regular character.

She left the Manhattan District Attorney's Office in 2001 to take a job in the United States Attorney's office.
