Jill Ellen Stein (born May 14, 1950) is an American physician and activist. She is the Green Party's nominee for president of the United States in the 2024 election, and was previously its candidate in the 2012 and 2016 elections. She was the Green-Rainbow Party's candidate for governor of Massachusetts in 2002 and 2010. Stein is among the list of several women who have run for President of the United States and also one of the few who received over a million votes in the general election behind both Hillary Clinton and Jo Jorgensen.

Born in Chicago and raised in Highland Park, Illinois, Stein graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College in 1973 and from Harvard Medical School in 1979. During her time as a practicing physician, she advocated for the improvement of air quality standards for coal plants. Stein ran her first political campaign running as the Green-Rainbow candidate for Governor of Massachusetts in 2002 losing to Republican Mitt Romney. She ran for the same position again in 2010 this time losing to the incumbent Massachusetts Governor, Democrat Deval Patrick.

Stein first ran for the Office of President of the United States in 2012 selecting Cheri Honkala as her running mate. They lost to the incumbent President and Democrat Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. She ran for the second time for President in 2016 with running mate Ajamu Baraka, against Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and Republican candidate Donald Trump, the latter of whom won the election.

She is running a third time in the 2024 election against former President Trump and Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris. Stein is running on a campaign which focuses on an anti-war stance, universal healthcare, free public education, an eco-socialist "real Green New Deal", and strong worker rights. Her Vice Presidential running mate is Butch Ware.
