Aaron Thomas Bliss (May 22, 1837 – September 16, 1906) was an American politician who served as a U.S. Representative and the 25th governor of Michigan, and was from Saginaw.

The following year, Bliss moved to Bouckville, a small town in Madison County, New York, where he engaged in mercantile pursuits.

After a quick advancement to lieutenant, his regiment formed a part of Kilpatrick's Brigade and was ordered to the front, joining the Army of the Potomac.

In 1882, Bliss was elected member of the Michigan Senate from Saginaw County (25th district), and during that time helped establish a soldiers' home in Grand Rapids.

In 1900, Bliss was elected Governor of Michigan, defeating mayor of Detroit William C. Maybury, and was re-elected in 1902, serving from 1901 through 1904.

Bliss died less than two years after leaving office at the age of sixty-nine in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, while on a visit for medical treatment.
