Conrad Keefe Cyr (born 1931) is a senior judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
Born in Limestone, Maine, Cyr received a B.S. from Holy Cross College in 1953 and a J.D. from Yale Law School in 1956. He was in private practice of law in Limestone, Maine from 1956-59, and in Bangor, Maine from 1961-62, serving in the interim as an assistant U.S. attorney in Bangor. He was a referee in bankruptcy for the District of Maine from 1961-73.
Cyr served as a federal bankruptcy judge from 1973 to 1981, and was Chief Judge of the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the First Circuit from 1980-81. On August 11, 1981, President Ronald Reagan nominated Cyr to the United States District Court for the District of Maine vacated by George J. Mitchell, who had resigned following his appointment as a United States Senator. Cyr was confirmed by the United States Senate on September 25, 1981, and received his commission on September 28, 1981. Cyr served as Chief Judge of that District from 1983-89.
On August 4, 1989, President George H.W. Bush nominated Cyr to serve on the First Circuit, in the seat vacated when Frank M. Coffin elected to take senior status. Cyr was confirmed by the Senate on October 24, 1989 and received his commission on November 20, 1989. Cyr assumed senior status on January 31, 1997 and has continued to hear cases. He was succeeded by fellow Maine resident Kermit V. Lipez.
