Curtis Coe "C. C." Bean (January 4, 1828 – February 1, 1904) was an American businessman and politician. Politically he served one term as Arizona Territory's Congressional delegate as well as a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives and Arizona Territorial Legislature. He had a number of business interests over the course of his life but is best known for mining interests.
Bean was born to Josiah J. and Olive (Sanborn) Bean on January 4, 1828 in Tamworth, New Hampshire. His father died while he was young and Bean relocated to Gilmanton, New Hampshire with his mother in 1837. He received his education at Phillips Exeter Academy and Union College.
In the mid-1850s, Bean moved to New York City where he obtained a job at the custom house. In addition to his job, Bean was involved with the brokerage business and read law. He was admitted to the bar but rarely practiced law. Bean had enough financial success that by 1859 he was able to donate $2,500 for creation of a private railroad. During the American Civil War, Bean was the clerk of the New York City school board.
During 1864 Bean moved to Columbia, Tennessee. From there he went to Nashville, Tennessee. During 1867 and 1868, Bean served as a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives. Bean married Mary Margaret Bradshow. The couple had three daughters: Mary, Grace, and Blanche.
