Stephen Hinsdale Weed (November 17, 1831 – July 2, 1863) was a career military officer in the United States Army.

Among his classmates were ten other future Civil War generals, including Oliver O. Howard and J.E.B.

With the outbreak of the Civil War, Weed was promoted to captain of the newly formed Battery I, 5th U.S.

He remained at Camp Curtin in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, training his crews until the spring of 1862, when they served in the Peninsula Campaign and at Second Bull Run.

After a short leave of absence, he took part in the Battle of Chancellorsville, commanding the artillery of the 2nd Division, V Corps.

Elements of Weed's brigade helped move the guns of Lt. Charles E. Hazlett's Battery D, 5th United States Artillery to the top of the hill.

Weed was mortally wounded in the chest (possibly by a sharpshooter hidden in Devil's Den) while standing near these guns.

"[3] Weed's body was returned home and buried in the Moravian Cemetery in New Dorp, a village on Staten Island in Richmond County, New York.

Redoubt A of the military defenses around Washington, D.C., was renamed "Fort Weed" in September 1863 in his memory.

16 renamed a portion of Fort Wadsworth along The Narrows in New York Harbor as Battery Weed.
