John Kennedy (Manitoba politician)

John Kennedy was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1920 to 1927, as a member of the Conservative Party.

He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1920 provincial election, defeating Liberal candidate Howard Winkler by sixty-two votes in the southern Manitoba constituency of Morden and Rhineland. The Conservatives won only eight seats out of fifty-five in this campaign, and Kennedy served on the opposition benches for the next two years.

He was re-elected in the 1922 election, defeating United Farmers of Manitoba candidate John Sweet by 337 votes. The Conservatives fell to seven seats provincially, and Kennedy remained an opposition member. He did not seek re-election in 1927.
