Reuben Eldridge Truax (October 11 1847 – April 3 1935) was an Ontario businessman and political figure. He represented Bruce South in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1894 to 1904 and from 1908 to 1911 and Bruce East in 1891 and Bruce South from 1913 to 1921 in the Canadian House of Commons as a Liberal member.

He was born in Montreal, Canada East in 1847 and educated in Walkerton, Ontario. In 1870, he married Jessie Porteous. He owned a sawmill, planing mill and sash and door factory. He was first elected to the House of Commons in 1891 but that election was declared invalid and Henry Cargill was elected by acclamation in the by-election which followed.
