The Hon. Melvin D. Sandvig is a judge for the Los Angeles County Superior Court in California. He was appointed to the bench in 1998 by former Governor Pete Wilson.

He graduated with his J.D. from the University of La Verne College of Law.

Prior to being appointed to the Superior Court, Sandvig had served as a Los Angeles Police Officer for twenty years.
