Stephen Andrew Seymour (October 4, 1920, in New York City – June 18, 1973, in Los Angeles) was an American physician and track and field coach and athlete, who in the 1948 London Olympics won America's first silver medal in the javelin throw, a feat that to-date would be repeated only in the 1952 Olympics. Setting the American javelin record in 1945 and 1947, Seymour is regarded by track and field historians as America's original javelin technician.[2][3][1]

Seymour, who was of Jewish heritage, was actually born Seymour Cohen in New York, but in his mid-20's changed his name to Stephen Seymour to avoid anti-Semitism.[1][3]
