Sir Humphrey Stafford, 1st Earl of Devon, 1st Baron Stafford of Southwick (ca. 1439 – 17 August 1469) was a dominant magnate in South West England in the mid-15th century, and a participant in the Wars of the Roses.

Stafford held the comital title for only three months. In July he was sent north to quell a rebellion instigated by the discontented Earl of Warwick. Even though he escaped the disastrous Battle of Edgcote, he was lynched by a mob at Bridgwater on 17 August 1469. Considered an overambitious man by many, Stafford was nevertheless a capable administrator, who enjoyed the absolute confidence of the king. (en)
