Irvin v. Dowd, 359 U.S. 394 (1959), was a United States Supreme Court case. It involved an escaped convict's (Leslie Irvin) denial of appeal. The convict sought a federal writ of habeas corpus. Irvin v. Dowd was one of the first of many cases to underscore the "swing vote" role played by Justice Potter Stewart, who recently had come to the Supreme Court and was caught between the two warring camps of justices—the liberal camp of Justices Earl Warren and William Brennan, and the conservative one headed by Justice Felix Frankfurter.
