Blanton Duncan (July 2, 1827 – April 8, 1902) was an American landholder, printer, political organizer, and Confederate Army officer.

Blanton was born in Louisville, Kentucky.[1] His father was U.S. congressman Garnett Duncan who organized support for Charles O'Conor instead of Horace Greeley.[2]

He was an officer in the 1st Regiment Kentucky Volunteer Infantry. A wealthy heir, he equipped a regiment. According to a numismatic site he was relieved of command by soldiers serving under him and sued his daughter over items she inherited from her mother.[3] He had a contract to print Confederate money but later had it revoked.[1] The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City has a five dollar bill he printed.[4]

After the war he spent some time in Europe. He moved to Texas and then California where he owned a ranch. The Manhattan Beach Historical Society wrote about his property and history in the area.[5]

He had one daughter. He is buried at the Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville. The University of West Virginia has a collection of some of his Civil War era letters.[6]
