Aaron Ward (July 5, 1790 – March 2, 1867) was an American lawyer and politician from New York.

He served five terms over three separate stints in the U.S. House of Representatives during the early-to-mid-19th century.

Afterwards he continued to serve in the State Militia, and in 1830 he was promoted to major general.

In 1855, Ward ran on the Hard ticket for Secretary of State of New York, but was defeated by Joel T. Headley.

Ward was the first President of Dale Cemetery in Ossining[3] and a trustee of Mount Pleasant Academy.
