Michael Gibbs (politician)

Michael P. Gibbs (1870 – 1943) was a Newfoundland lawyer and politician, who served as the second mayor of St. John's.

Born St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Gibbs was educated at the Christian Brother's School in St. John's, and articled in law with the Hon. M.H. Carty. Gibbs was called to the bar in 1896, and created King's Counsel in 1911. Gibbs established a Tenant's League in 1892 in an attempt to have land courts established, and became in 1893 editor of the Terra Nova Advocate. He was elected as a Conservative in St. George's district in 1897, in his second attempt at a seat in the House of Assembly. He was defeated in four subsequent general elections, however, contesting a variety of districts.
