Stephen March (died June 2, 1880) was a merchant and politician in Newfoundland. He served in the Newfoundland House of Assembly from 1852 to 1869.[1]

The son of William March, he was born in Old Perlican and went into business there as a supplier to the local fishery. March was opposed to confederation with Canada and he was defeated as an anti-Confederate candidate in 1869. He retired to Torquay, England, where he died in 1880.[1]

The business that he established, S. March & Sons, continued under the ownership of his sons Stephen and Nathaniel.[1]

In 1854, he published The present condition of Newfoundland : with suggestions for improving its industrial and commercial resources.[1]
