Stephen Joseph Garibaldi (October 22, 1853 – January 12, 1937)[1][2] was an American grocer and politician who served in the California State Assembly from 1880 to 1881.[3] He was a member of the Swiss-Italian Club of the Workingmen's Party of California,[4] and during his term was denounced by fellow WPC assemblyman William J. Sinon as the "Judas Iscariot of the party" for voting against them on a revenue bill.[5] He was later active in the Republican Party, running unsuccessfully for State Assembly in 1886.[6]

Garibaldi outlived his wife Sarah by 33 years.[7] Her brother, Egisto C. Palmieri, served in the California State Senate from 1885 to 1887.[8]
