Joseph Eggleston Segar (June 1, 1804 – April 30, 1880) was a Virginia lawyer, plantation owner and politician who was twice elected as a U.S. Representative from Virginia during the American Civil War, and as a U.S. Senator immediately following the conflict, but whom fellow legislators refused to allow to assume his seat due to Virginia's secession and delayed readmission to the Union.
