Nathaniel Colver (born in Orwell, Vermont, 10 May 1794; died in Chicago, 25 December 1870) was an American Baptist clergyman.

[1] After brief pastorates in various places, Colver was called in 1839 to Boston, where he cooperated in organizing the church later known as Tremont Temple.

His ministry there was remarkable for its bold, uncompromising, and effective warfare upon slavery and intemperance, as well as for its directly spiritual results.

On leaving Boston in 1852, Colver was pastor at South Abington, Massachusetts, at Detroit, at Cincinnati, and finally, in 1861, at Chicago.

[1] In 1867, Colver headed the Richmond Campus of the National Theological Institute of Washington D.C., created by the American Baptist Home Mission Society.
