Emile Fortin (18 February 1878 – 18 May 1936) was a Conservative member of the Canadian House of Commons. He was born in Levis, Quebec, and became a pharmacist and physician.
Fortin, a graduate of Universite Laval, was a member of the Medical Society of Quebec.
He was first elected to Parliament at the Levis riding in the 1930 general election after a previous unsuccessful campaign there in the 1926 federal election.
He was appointed to the Senate for the De la Durantaye, Quebec, division on 14 August 1935 but remained in that role for less than a year, until his death at a Quebec City hospital on 18 May 1936. He had been ill with pneumonia since that March and his condition worsened with a subsequent heart attack.
