Stephen Scott Emory McInnis (born May 9, 1953) is an American politician and lawyer who was a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Colorado from 1993 to 2005. In August 2010, McInnis lost his bid to become the Republican nominee for Governor of Colorado after a plagiarism accusation and apology hurt his standing. In November 2014, McInnis was elected a member of the Mesa County Board of County Commissioners to succeed Steven Acquafresca in January 2015, and was succeeded by Bobbie Daniel in January 2023.
The McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area, west of Grand Junction, is named for him.
