Ulysses Sigel Webb (September 29, 1864 – July 31, 1947) was an American lawyer and politician affiliated with the Republican Party.

[6] He was appointed Attorney General of California by Governor Henry T. Gage in 1902 to replace the resigning Tirey L. Ford,[9] and was elected to a full term later that year.

He began a lengthy series of lawsuits to prove the state held title, in trust for the people of California, to tide and submerged lands, for public access and use for navigation, shipping and commerce.

Andrews ruled that residence requirements were a violation of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Webb chose to delay the public announcement to give Warren time to organize his campaign before other candidates.

[1] California governor Gray Davis apologized in 2003 for Webb's zealous progressive-promoted sterilization program under the state's eugenics policy.

[13] Webb belonged to the Masonic,[6][13] Knights of Pythias,[13] and Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks fraternities,[6] and to the Union League Club.
