Maurice Edgar Crumpacker (December 19, 1886 – July 24, 1927) was a Republican U.S. congressman from Oregon.
Crumpacker was born in Valparaiso, Indiana in 1886, where he attended the public schools until his father, Edgar D. Crumpacker, was elected to the United States House of Representatives when Maurice was 10 years old. (Crumpacker's cousin, Shepard J. Crumpacker, Jr., would also serve in the House of Representatives representing Indiana.)
The younger Crumpacker completed his primary education in Washington, D.C., then returned to Indiana, where he graduated from the Culver Military Academy in 1905. Crumpacker attended the University of Michigan, where he was a starting right tackle for Fielding H. Yost's 1908 Michigan Wolverines football team in his senior year.
After graduating from Michigan in 1909, Crumpacker studied law at Harvard University School of Law and was admitted to the bar in 1912.
Crumpacker set up his law practice in Portland, Oregon in 1912. As the United States moved towards participation in World War I, he was commissioned as a first lieutenant in the U. S. Army's Aviation Section, U.S. Signal Corps, and in 1917, was put in charge of Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen, the company union for the Army's Spruce Production Division which supplied lumber for military aircraft and ships. He was eventually promoted to captain of the division and was honorably discharged in 1918.
