This paper presents a uniqueness theorem for the Stokes equations in a half space in a space of bounded functions. The Stokes equations is well understood for decaying velocity as $|x|\to\infty$, but less known for non-decaying velocity even for a half space. This paper presents a uniqueness theorem on $L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}_+^n)$ for unbounded velocity as $t\downarrow 0$. Under suitable sup-bounds both for velocity and pressure gradient, a uniqueness theorem for non-decaying velocity is proved.
