Onslow Stearns (August 30, 1810 � December 29, 1878) was an American businessman and politician who served as the 32nd governor of New Hampshire. Stearns became active in politics as a Republican, serving in the New Hampshire State Senate from 1862 to 1864. He served as the Senate's President pro tempore in 1863, and was a Delegate to the 1864 Republican National Convention. Stearns ran successfully for governor in 1869 and was reelected in 1870.
