Edward Stowe Hamlin (July 6, 1808 – November 23, 1894) was a 19th-century lawyer and politician who served briefly as a U.S. Representative from Ohio from late 1844 to early 1845.
He subsequently studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1831 and commenced practice in Elyria, Ohio.
Hamlin was elected as a Whig to the Twenty-eighth Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Henry R. Brinkerhoff and served from October 8, 1844, to March 3, 1845.
He then moved to Cleveland, Ohio, in 1844 and engaged in the newspaper business, establishing the True Democrat (now The Plain Dealer) in 1846.
