Harris Merrill Plaisted (November 2, 1828 – January 31, 1898) was an attorney, politician, and Union Army officer from Maine. As colonel, he commanded the 11th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment during the American Civil War. After the war, he served as Maine Attorney General, a U.S. Congressman, and the 38th Governor of Maine. Plaisted was born and raised in Jefferson, New Hampshire. He graduated from Waterville College (1853) and Albany Law School (1855), and practiced law in Bangor. In 1861, he was commissioned as a lieutenant colonel in the Union Army and named second in command of the 11th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment. In 1862 he was promoted to colonel and assigned as the regimental commander. He took part in numerous engagements in South Carolina and Virginia, including the Siege of Petersburg. In February 1865 he was appointed brevet brigadier general of volunteers and in 1867 was appointed brevet major general of volunteers for gallant and meritorious services during the war. After the war, Plaisted resumed practicing law and became involved in politics as a Republican. He served as a member of the Maine House of Representatives in 1867-1868, and was a delegate to the 1868 Republican National Convention. In 1873 he was chosen by the state legislature to serve as Maine Attorney General, and he was reappointed in 1874 and 1875. In December 1875 he resigned as Attorney General in order to take the U.S. House seat for which he had been selected in a special election the previous September. He completed the term of his predecessor, which ended in March 1877, but was not a candidate for a full term. In 1878, Plaisted left the Republicans over dissatisfaction with their monetary policy, and became a member of the Greenback Party. In 1880, he was elected governor as the fusion candidate of the Greenbacks and the Democrats, and he served from 1881 to 1883. Plaisted died in Bangor in 1898, and was buried at Mount Hope Cemetery in Bangor.

Harris Merrill Plaisted, född 2 november 1828 i Jefferson, New Hampshire, död 31 januari 1898 i Bangor, Maine, var en amerikansk politiker och general i nordstaternas armé i amerikanska inbördeskriget. Han var ledamot av USA:s representanthus 1875–1877 och Maines guvernör 1881–1883. Plaisted utexaminerades 1853 från Waterville College (senare Colby University, efter 1889 Colby College). Tre år senare avlade han juristexamen i Albany i delstaten New York och inledde sin karriär som advokat i Maine. I amerikanska inbördeskriget avancerade han till generalmajor. Plaisted fyllnadsvaldes 1875 som republikan till representanthuset efter att hade avlidit i ämbetet. Han ställde inte upp för omval. Plaisted lämnade sedan republikanerna och besegrade 1880 sittande guvernören Daniel F. Davis med knapp marginal. Plaisted var förutom för demokraternas även Greenbackpartiets kandidat. Han efterträdde 1881 Davis som guvernör och efterträddes 1883 av Frederick Robie. Sonen Frederick W. Plaisted var Maines guvernör 1913–1915.
