Eugene Albert Chappie (March 28, 1920 – May 31, 1992) was a United States Congressman from California.
Chappie was promoted to the rank of captain while serving in the Pacific Theater during World War II.
He returned home to work in agribusiness before serving in the military again, this time during the Korean War.
In that election, Chappie beat veteran Democratic incumbent Harold "Bizz" Johnson by almost 14 points, becoming the first Republican to represent this vast northern California district since 1942.
