John David Baskerville

John David Baskerville (April 10, 1857–1926) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada, serving in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1915 to 1920.

Baskerville was born in Ottawa, Canada West (now Ontario) and was educated at Ramseys Corners. He moved to Manitoba and worked as a farmer, also served as a municipal councillor and school trustee for 27 years. In religion, Baskerville was a Presbyterian.

He was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1915 provincial election, defeating his Conservative opponent by 721 votes in the rural, southeastern constituency of Emerson. The Liberals won a landslide majority government in this election, and Baskerville served as a backbench supporter of Tobias C. Norris's administration for the next five years.

Baskerville was defeated in the 1920 provincial election, finishing third against Farmer candidate Dmytro Yakimischak.
