Hamilton Fish, Jr. (or Hamilton Fish IV) (June 3, 1926 – July 23, 1996) was a Republican politician best known as a member of the U.S. Congressional Delegation from New York.
Fish was the son of Grace Chapin and Hamilton Fish III (1888–1991), grandson of Hamilton Fish II (1849–1936) and Alfred C. Chapin, great-grandson of Hamilton Fish (1808–1893), a descendant of Lewis Morris, and a cousin of the Kean family of New Jersey politicians. His son, Hamilton Fish V, ran for Congress in 1988 and 1994 as a Democrat without success.
Fish was born in Washington, D.C. and attended the prestigious private Kent School. He graduated from Harvard University in 1949 and received an LL.B. from New York University School of Law in 1957. He also attended Harvard's Graduate School of Public Administration. While in college, Fish was a member of the United States Naval Reserve.
From 1951 to 1953, Fish served in Ireland as the vice consul to the nation from the United States Foreign Service. He practiced law privately before his election to the House, and in 1961, Fish served as a lawyer for the New York State Assembly's Judiciary Committee.
