Alexander Hamilton Stephens (1812-1883) was a United States politician. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives (1843-1859), where he defended Slavery but opposed Secession. When Georgia did secede from the United States, he was elected Vice-President of the Confederate States of America.

He supported constitutional government, and opposed attempts by Jefferson Davis to infringe on individual rights. He also advocated a program of prisoner exchanges, and led the delegation to the Hampton Roads Conference in 1865. After the war he was imprisoned in Boston for five months, then was elected to the Senate (1866), but was refused his seat.

He served again in the United States House of Representatives (1873-1882) and as Governor of Georgia (1882-1883). He is buried on his estate, Liberty Hall, near Crawfordsville, Georgia.
