John Les is a Canadian politician and member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for British Columbia. He was previously Minister of Small Business and Economic Development and Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor-General for the Provincial Government.

Les served as mayor of Chilliwack from 1987 to 1999. He was unsuccessful in the 1997 federal election in riding of Fraser Valley where he ran for the Liberal Party of Canada coming in second in a field of eight. He was elected in the 2001 B.C. election representing the British Columbia Liberal Party in the Chilliwack-Sumas riding. He won re-election in the 2005 B.C. election.

On March 28, 2008, John Les resigned from his position as Solicitor General pending the outcome of an investigation by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) over allegations of misconduct during his tenure as Mayor of Chilliwack. The RCMP requested that a special prosecutor look into a land deal that Les may have improperly benefited from. [ Hainsworth, Jeremy (March 29, 2008).
