Penny Priddy (born March 5, 1944 in Toronto, Ontario) is a politician from British Columbia, Canada. Originally a nurse, she moved from Ontario to Surrey in 1981. After five years as a school trustee on Surrey's school board, she ran in the 1991 provincial election as a British Columbia New Democratic Party (NDP) candidate in Surrey-Newton, defeating Premier Rita Johnston to win the riding. She subsequently served in several cabinet posts in the NDP governments of Mike Harcourt and Glen Clark.

Because of cancer, she did not run in the 2001 British Columbia election, but returned to politics in 2002 when she was elected to Surrey City Council.

She is currently the federal NDP Member of Parliament for the riding of Surrey North, which was represented by independent Chuck Cadman until his death from cancer. Despite differing views from Cadman, she had been friends with him and his wife Dona. Dona Cadman later endorsed Priddy for the Surrey North seat, considered by some to be the deciding factor in her victory over Conservative candidate David Matta.

Priddy has announced that she will not run in the 40th Canadian federal election. [ [http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=dfb292ec-1b3d-4e22-bf9c-f86af9b73d57 "NDP's Penny Priddy says she won't run again"] , "Vancouver Sun", July 16, 2008.]
