Stanley Roger Tupper (January 25, 1921 – January 6, 2006) was a U.S. Representative from Maine.
Born in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, Tupper was educated in Boothbay Harbor public schools, and he graduated from Hebron Academy in Hebron, Maine. He then attended Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont.
At age 21, Tupper joined the United States Border Patrol, completed training in El Paso, Texas, and carried out assignments on both the Mexican and Canadian borders.
Tupper joined the United States Navy for World War II; he served from September 1944 to March 1946, and was discharged as a Petty Officer Third Class. He remained with the Border Patrol until resigning in 1948, when he returned to Maine and began to study law with his father while also taking law school courses through LaSalle Extension University of Chicago, Illinois.
He graduated from LaSalle University in 1948, was admitted to the bar in 1949, and began to practice in Boothbay Harbor. Tupper also began to serve in local government; he was elected to the Boothbay Harbor board of selectmen in 1948, and was selected to serve as chairman in 1949. As a selectman, he took a lead role in creating the town's police department, and his other initiatives included adopting the secret ballot for election of town officials, competitive bidding for town equipment and services, and the town manager form of government.
A Republican, Tupper served as member of the Maine House of Representatives from 1953 to 1954, as assistant state attorney general from 1959 to 1960, and as commissioner of the state Department of Sea and Shore Fisheries from 1953 to 1957.
