Louis Fortin (1 December 1920 – 24 June 2005) was a Progressive Conservative party member of the Canadian House of Commons. He was born in Lévis, Quebec and became a lawyer by career.
He unsuccessfully attempt to unseat Jean Lesage at the Montmagny—L'Islet riding as an independent candidate in the 1957 federal election.
