John Paul Meagher (April 4, 1939 – May 28, 2019) was a developer and political figure in Saskatchewan, Canada. He represented Prince Albert from 1982 to 1986 in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan as a Progressive Conservative.
He was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, the son of John Paul Meagher. In 1964, Meagher married Barbara Florence Valantine. Before entering politics, he was a plumbing and heating contractor.[1]
Meagher was criticized for his involvement in a resort complex at Redberry Lake while serving as legislative secretary to the Minister for Parks and Renewable Resources, but was later cleared of violating rules for conflict of interest.[2] He was defeated by Myron Kowalsky when he ran for reelection to the provincial assembly in 1986.[3] He ran for the federal Reform Party in 1993 in the Prince Albert-Churchill River riding, finishing third.
He died from cancer on May 28, 2019, aged 80.[4]
