McCants Stewart (July 11, 1877 – April 14, 1919) was an American lawyer.
Born to a prominent attorney in New York, Stewart studied law in Minnesota and became the first African American lawyer in the state of Oregon.
His lack of financial success in Oregon led him to eventually move to San Francisco, where failing vision led him to commit suicide.
Living in the era of Plessy v. Ferguson and "separate but equal" doctrine, his life was said to "reflect an unyielding commitment to the principle of justice for all powerless people in the northwest."
