Horace Stanley Colliver (February 10, 1874[1] – December 16, 1957) was a businessman and political figure in Ontario. He represented Prince Edward in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1923 to 1926 and from 1928 to 1934 as a Conservative member.

He was born in Hallowell township, the son of George Colliver and Belle Stafford, and was educated in Cherry Valley. In 1896, Colliver married Eva E. Garrison. He was a wholesale grocer, canner and coal dealer. Colliver served as warden for Prince Edward County in 1914 and as mayor of Picton in 1918. He was defeated by William Raney when he ran for reelection in 1926 but was reelected in a 1928 by-election held after Raney was named a judge.[1] He died in 1957.[2]
