Stephen Weaver Collins (born October 1, 1947) is an American actor.

Born in Des Moines, Iowa, he was raised in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York. He attended Amherst College, graduating cum laude. He played bass guitar and rhythm guitar in a number of rock and roll bands at Amherst, including Tambourine Charlie & The Four Flat Tires, The Naugahyde Revolution, and The Flower & Vegetable Show.

Collins' Broadway credits include The Ritz and No Sex Please, We're British; off-Broadway he appeared opposite Sigourney Weaver in Christopher Durang's Beyond Therapy.

Collins probably is best known for his role as the Reverend Eric Camden in more than two hundred episodes of the television series 7th Heaven, though he also notably portrayed Captain/Commander Willard Decker in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Rev. Camden's wife, Annie, is played by fellow Star Trek alum Catherine Hicks (who played Dr. Gillian Taylor in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home). Additional television credits include a starring role in Tattingers as well as guest appearances in The Waltons, Barnaby Jones, Charlie's Angels, Because I Said So, and numerous mini-series and made-for-television movies.

Collins and his 7th Heaven co-star Beverley Mitchell are the only two original cast members to appear in every single episode.

Collins is the author of two novels: Eye Contact (1994) and Double Exposure (1998).

Collins is the great-great-grandson of General James Baird Weaver, the 1880 Greenback Party presidential candidate and the 1892 People's Party (Populist) candidate for president.

Collins is married to actress Faye Grant. He is a practising Anglican and is also a practitioner of Transcendental Meditation.
