Stephen Jefferson Maybell (October 1844 – November 30, 1919) was an American lather, poet, politician and priest who served in the California State Assembly from 1880 to 1881. During the Panic of 1893, he founded the Army of the Kingdom of Heaven at Hand, a religious sect that sought to recruit the unemployed for a march on Washington, D.C. Though the movement was unsuccessful, it is notable for predating Coxey's Army by several months.
