Lewis McIlvride (1882–1949) was a New Zealand Member of Parliament and trade unionist.
Member of Parliament
Born in Glasgow, Scotland on 26 January 1882, McIlvride was the National Secretary of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants in 1927, succeeding Joe Mack, who had held that position since 1908.
He unsuccessfully contested the Patea by-election, a rural Taranaki seat, in 1921 as the Labour nominee. Of the three candidates, he came last with just under ten percent of the vote. While McIlvride polled a very small vote, he was the only one of the three candidates who increased the vote for his party compared with 1919.
McIlvride represented the Napier electorate in the New Zealand House of Representatives from 1922 to 1925 for the Labour Party.
McIlvride died on 9 November 1949.
