Anson Akenside Hull Tuttle (1820/1821 – 7 September 1866)[1] was an American tavern keeper, judge and Republican politician. Tuttletown, California, was named for him.

Born in New York (?) or Illinois,[1] he removed to California, where he built a log cabin in 1848 in what would become Tuolumne County. He was a member of the California State Assembly, 1858–59. He was Secretary of State of California in 1863. In 1866 he was California State Treasurer.[1]

Tuttle died of lung hemorrhage at the age of 45, while he was visiting Donner Lake to improve his health.[1] He is interred in the Sacramento Historic City Cemetery in Sacramento, California.[2]
