Sean Newton Haugh (born November 17, 1960) is an American politician and pizza delivery man who has run for Senate in North Carolina under the Libertarian Party nomination in 2002, 2014 and 2016. He currently resides in Durham, North Carolina.

During his 2002 campaign Haugh also acted as Executive Director of the Libertarian Party of North Carolina. Haugh helped raise money for Libertarian candidates by helping sell calendars featuring pinups of female Libertarians which were made by fellow Libertarian Rachel Mills, an idea thought up during an informal conversation between Haugh and Mills about fundraising. The calendars were sold for $20 each with Haugh describing all the photographs as "tasteful" and saying the calendar received mostly positive reactions.

Although Haugh had sworn off of politics years earlier he decided to run in 2014 because he couldn't stand the idea of only having a Democrat and a Republican on the ballot. Haugh became well known for his campaign video where he shares his political platform. These videos are filmed from his campaign manager's basement.

During Haugh's 2014 campaign the conservative group American Future Fund funded an online campaign for Haugh. The ads for the campaign used slogans like "Get Haugh, Get High" and "More Weed, Less War". Though the ads directly supported Haugh the candidate himself has stated

While I appreciate the support, I have a whole new reason to despise Koch brothers and their dark money,

Haugh told the Charlotte Observer that "Apparently all three campaigns are now busy telling everyone that I am the best candidate in this race."

Haugh was not invited to the debate between Deborah Ross and Richard Burr for the 2016 election. He tweeted that instead he would be delivering pizzas during the debate.
