InfoBellamy Storer (August 28, 1847 - November 12, 1922) was a U.S. Representative from Ohio, son of Bellamy Storer (1796) and uncle of Nicholas Longworth. His wife, Maria Longworth Nichols Storer, was the founder of Rookwood Pottery located in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Storer attended the common schools of that city and Dixwell's private Latin school, Boston, Massachusetts. He was graduated from Harvard University in 1867 and from the law school of Cincinnati College in 1869. He was admitted to the bar in 1869 and commenced practice in Cincinnati. He served as assistant United States attorney for the southern district of Ohio in 1869 and 1870.

Storer was elected as a Republican to the Fifty-second and Fifty-third Congresses (March 4, 1891-March 3, 1895). He was not a candidate for renomination in 1894, but resumed the practice of law. He was Assistant Secretary of State in 1897. He also was Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Belgium from May 4, 1897, to April 11, 1899, to Spain from April 12, 1899, to September 26, 1902, and to Austria-Hungary from September 26, 1902, to March 1906. Afterwards he resumed the practice of law. He died in Paris, France, November 12, 1922, and was interred in Le Cimetiere Neuf, Marvejols, France.

He actually was a candidate for renomination at the 1894 1st District Republican convention in late September 1894. He lost to Charles P. Taft, Sr.
