Walter J. Trohan ( July 4, 1903-October 30, 2003 ) was a former Chicago Tribune reporter and bureau chief in Washington, D. C., and was regarded as the last of the metropolitan newspaper Washington bureau chiefs whose bylines made them famous.

Trohan was known for ferreting out the fact that President Truman planned to fire General Douglas MacArthur, the commander of UN forces in Korea.

In spite of the Tribune's hostility to Roosevelt's policies, Trohan and the president got along well.

In 1975 Trohan wrote his memoirs and titled the book Political Animals.
