Justus Smith Stearns (April 10, 1845–February 14, 1933) was an American lumber baron and businessman. He was involved in many enterprises that involved commercial real estate development, sawmills, coal, farming, railroading, and electrical technology.

Stearns, as a dealer, was associated with his wealthy brother-in-law Eber Brock Ward as a vendor to lumberyard suppliers. Later in his thirties he moved to Michigan to manage Ward's lumber operations he had going there that at that time was inherited by Ward's widow. He worked his way up in management responsibilities and eventually became general managing agent for Ward's extensive lumber empire.
