John W. Thompson (Manitoba politician)

John W. Thompson (May 31, 1858—?) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1910 to 1914, as a member of the Liberal Party.

Thompson was born in Ravenswood, Canada West (now Ontario), and educated at public schools. He worked as a farmer, and resided in Minnedosa, Manitoba during his political career.

He ran for the Canadian House of Commons in the 1900 federal election as a candidate of the Liberal Party of Canada, but lost to Conservative William James Roche by 422 votes in the Marquette riding.

Thompson was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1910 provincial election, defeating Conservative incumbent William B. Waddell by 34 votes in Minnedosa. The Conservatives won the election, and he served as an opposition member. He did not seek re-election in 1914.
