Stephen Champlin

Stephen Champlin (17 November 1789- 20 February 1870) was an officer in the United States Navy during the War of 1812.

Born in Kingston, Rhode Island, Champlin entered the Navy as a sailing master 22 May 1812. He commanded the schooner "Scorpion" in her capture of the British "Little Belt" during the Battle of Lake Erie, and later in the War of 1812 was wounded when his ship was taken on Lake Huron. Retired in 1855, Captain Champlin was later promoted to Commodore on the retired list, and died in Buffalo, New York.

Two ships have been named USS "Champlin" for him, as was Champlin, Minnesota
