Samuel Vernon Stewart (August 2, 1872 in Monroe County, Ohio – September 15, 1939) was an attorney, former Montana Supreme Court Justice and the sixth Governor of Montana.
Stewart attended Kansas State Normal School, and earned a law degree from the University of Kansas in 1898. He practiced law in Virginia City, Montana, where he served as city attorney and county attorney for Madison County, Montana. He was chosen as chairman of the Montana Democratic Party in 1910, and was elected governor in 1912, serving two terms from 1913 to 1921. It was under his governing that Jeannette Rankin became the first female Congress member.
After leaving office as governor, Stewart was elected to one term in the Montana House of Representatives (1930–32). He was appointed to the Montana Supreme Court in 1932, serving there until his death in 1939.
