Denis Landry (born November 13, 1957) is a politician in the province of New Brunswick, Canada. He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick in 1995 and re-elected in 2003 and 2006 after being defeated in his first bid for re-election in 1999.

He is, as of June 2016, Minister of Justice in the government of Brian Gallant.

He represented during the 57th Legislative Assembly the electoral district of Centre-Péninsule-Saint-Sauveur, though prior to the 2006 election the district was known simply as Centre-Péninsule.

He won re-election to the 58th Legislative Assembly in the Bathurst East-Nepisiguit-Saint-Isidore riding.

Landry was born in Val-Doucet, New Brunswick and was educated at the Memramcook Institute, St. Francis Xavier University and the Université de Moncton. He was a logger for 17 years before working for the Canadian Paperworkers Union as local secretary-treasurer and later local president. He has served as President of the Acadian Peninsula Labour Council and president of the coalition against changes in unemployment insurance, a coalition composed of 15 different organizations. Landry later became a sales representative at a car dealership.[1]
