H. Gilson Blair (born July 11, 1970) is a former member of the Ohio House of Representatives, representing the 63rd district from 2019 through 2020. A Democrat, Blair's district includes approximately half of Trumbull County. Blair formerly was a candidate for the Niles municipal court judge and served as a Warren City prosecutor, as well as eight years as a Weathersfield Township trustee.[1] He is a graduate of the University of Akron.[2]

In 2019, state Representative Glenn Holmes stepped down from his seat to take a role in the administration of Ohio Governor Mike DeWine.[3] Soon after Ohio House Democrats nominated Blair to serve out the remainder of Holmes' term. He was sworn into office on May 31, 2019.
