Myron Hawley McCord (November 26, 1840 – April 27, 1908) was a U.S. Representative from Wisconsin.

Born in Ceres, McKean County, Pennsylvania, McCord attended Richburg Academy, New York.

He moved to Wisconsin in 1854 and settled in Shawano, Shawano County. He moved to Merrill in 1875, where he became a lumberman and farmer, and published a newspaper between 1868 and 1883. McCord served as a member of the Wisconsin State Senate in 1873 and 1874, the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1881, and as delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1876. He is listed in the Register of the United States land office at Wausau, Wisconsin, from February 26, 1884, to June 24, 1885.

Mccord was elected as a Republican to the Fifty-first Congress (March 4, 1889 – March 3, 1891). He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1890 to the Fifty-second Congress and for election in 1892 to the Fifty-third Congress. He returned to Merrill, Wisconsin, and engaged in agricultural pursuits and lumbering.

He was appointed by President McKinley as Governor of Arizona Territory in 1897, but resigned in 1898 to organize the Territorial Regiment for the Spanish-American War. He was then appointed United States marshal for the district of Arizona on May 1, 1902, and served until July 1, 1905. McCord was later appointed collector of customs for the port of Nogales, Arizona.

He died in Phoenix, Arizona, on April 27, 1908, and was interred in Merrill Cemetery, Merrill, Wisconsin.
