Jacques Lavoie (4 November 1936 – 20 January 2000) was a Progressive Conservative then Liberal member of the House of Commons of Canada. Born in Montreal, Quebec, he was a public servant and radiology technician before entering politics.

He was first elected at the Hochelaga riding in a 14 October 1975 by-election following the resignation of incumbent Gérard Pelletier. He switched to the Liberal party in June 1977, but ran as an independent candidate in the 1979 election as he was unsuccessful in becoming the party's nominee.[1]
