Kittredge Haskins (April 8, 1836 – August 7, 1916) was a Vermont lawyer and Republican politician. A Union Army veteran of the American Civil War, he served in the United States House of Representatives from 1901 to 1909.
A native of Dover, Vermont, Haskins was educated in the local schools, became an attorney, and practiced in Wilmington and Newfane before settling in Brattleboro. During the American Civil War, he served as a first lieutenant in the 16th Vermont Infantry Regiment. After the war, he attained the rank of colonel in the Vermont Militia.
Active in politics as a Republican, Haskins served as State's Attorney of Windham County (1870–1872) and Brattleboro's member of the Vermont House of Representatives (1872–1874). He was United States Attorney for the District of Vermont from 1880 to 1887, a member of the Vermont Senate (1892–1894), and again a member of the Vermont House (1896–1900). From 1898 to 1900, Haskins served as Speaker of the Vermont House of Representatives. In 1900, he won election to the United States House of Representatives, and he served four terms, from 1901 to 1909.
After leaving Congress, Haskins practiced law in Brattleboro, served as the town's municipal court judge from 1910 to 1911, and as the town's postmaster from 1911 to 1915. Haskins died in Brattleboro on August 7, 1917, and was buried at Prospect Hill Cemetery in Brattleboro.
