Addison Henry Laflin (October 24, 1823 - September 24, 1878) was a United States Representative from New York. Born in Lee, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, he attended the common schools, was graduated from Williams College (in Williamstown, Massachusetts) in 1843, went to Herkimer County, New York in 1849 and became interested in paper making. He was a member of the New York State Senate in 1858 and 1859 and was elected as a Republican to the Thirty-ninth, Fortieth, and Forty-first Congresses, holding office from March 4, 1865 to March 3, 1871. He was not a candidate for renomination and was a delegate to the Republican State convention in 1867. He was appointed by President Ulysses S. Grant to be naval officer at the Port of New York on April 3, 1871 and held that position until 1877, when he resigned. Laflin died in Pittsfield, Massachusetts in 1878; interment was in Oakwood Cemetery, Syracuse.
