Stephen Bennett Packard (April 25, 1839 - January 31, 1922) was a carpetbagger from the U.S. state of Maine who emerged as an important Republican politician in Louisiana during the era of Reconstruction. He was the unsuccessful Republican gubernatorial nominee in 1876. A captain in the Union Army during the American Civil War, Packard was appointed United States marshal in New Orleans in 1871 during the administration of U.S. President U.S. Grant. He emerged as a leader of what was called the "Customhouse Ring", a faction of the Radical Republican Party opposed to Governor Henry Clay Warmoth. In 1872, Packard directed the successful gubernatorial campaign of William Pitt Kellogg. Packard supported the impeachment of outgoing Governor Warmoth. When Warmoth was removed as governor, Packard obtained federal recognition of the African American P.B.S. Pinchback as governor for the thirty-five days left in Warmoth''s term. Kellogg was then recognized by President Grant as the legitimate authority in charge.
