Silas Seth Griffis (born in Onaga, Kansas in 1883) was a Canadian multi-sportsman of the early 20th century.

In the mid-1890s, Griffis's family moved to Rat Portage, Ontario, Canada, where he excelled in many sports, including ice hockey. It was here that he became a player for the local amateur hockey club, the Rat Portage (later Kenora) Thistles.

Griffis was a key member of the Thistles' 1907 Stanley Cup winning team. He later played professional hockey, captaining the Vancouver Millionaires to Cup victory in 1915. Griffis retired from professional hockey in 1919.

In later life, Griffis excelled as both a competitive golfer and bowler. He was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in July of 1950. He died in Vancouver, British Columbia that same month.
