Ovide Marc Lamontagne (born 1957) is an American businessman who serves as a shareholder at Bernstein Shur law firm in Manchester, New Hampshire.

He taught social studies at a high school level before attending the Wyoming College of Law, graduating with his Juris Doctor degree in 1985.

He clerked for Judge James E. Barrett of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit before returning to Manchester in 1986.

A fourth-generation New Hampshire native,[citation needed] Ovide was born on September 24, 1957,[1] in Manchester, where he attended Trinity High School.

Before adopting their son, Ovide and Bettie had hosted a number of foster children for short-term stays, and they were contacted about a child living in the hospital who needed a home.

His prior experience in complex business and litigation transactions, coupled with his passion for his home state of New Hampshire, combine to make Ovide a powerhouse in the legal community.

He co-chaired Carly Fiorina's NH 2016 presidential campaign, served as a senior advisor to Senator Kelly Ayotte's 2016 re-election campaign, co-chairs the Bishop's Summer Reception to benefit the Bishop's Charitable Assistance Fund and also chaired Northeast Catholic College's Fidelity and Courage Dinner.

Additionally, Ovide chairs Granite Action, a 501(c)(4) conservative issues advocacy group, and serves on the Executive Board of the Daniel Webster Council-BSA.

[7] Lamontagne claimed that McCormack and other prominent church members wanted a speedy settlement and, in an example of behaving "pastorally" rather than as a litigant, instructed their attorneys to take a moderate stance and eschew hardline legal tactics.

[13] In addition to Ayotte, who was considered the front-runner, the other candidates for the Republican nomination were millionaire businessman Bill Binnie and Jim Bender.

[15] When Ayotte eventually pulled ahead by approximately 1,600 votes in a contest Norma Love of Huffington Post called a "nail biter", Lamontagne conceded the election.
