Abraham Jacob Multer (December 24, 1900 – November 4, 1986) was an American lawyer, politician, and jurist. A member of the Democratic Party, he served in the U.S. House of Representatives from New York's 14th (1947-1953) and 13th (1953-1967) congressional districts.
Born in New York City, he attended the public schools of Coney Island, New York and Boys' High School in Brooklyn, New York before graduating from City College of New York in 1921 and Brooklyn Law School in 1922. He served in the United States Coast Guard Reserve from 1943 until 1945 and the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. Multer was elected to Congress in 1947 to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Leo F. Rayfiel and served from November 4, 1947 until his resignation on December 31, 1967 after election to the New York Supreme Court on November 7, 1967, where he served from January 1, 1968, until January 1, 1977.
