Sir Stephen James McAdden CBE (3 November 1907 – 27 December 1979) was a British Conservative politician.
McAdden was educated at the Salesian School, Battersea and worked as an export sales manager and company director. He was a councillor on Hackney Borough Council 1935–45, Woodford Borough Council 1945-48 and Essex County Council 1947–48.
McAdden was elected Member of Parliament for Southend East in 1950, and remained in office until he died at a hospital in London on 27 December 1979, aged 72, after falling down a flight of stairs at Westminster tube station on 21 December.[1] His successor at the resulting by-election in March 1980 was Teddy Taylor, who had lost his seat at the previous year's general election.
