André-Gilles Fortin (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃dʁe ʒil fɔʁtɛ̃]; November 13, 1943 – June 24, 1977) was a Canadian politician.
Fortin was elected leader of the party on November 7, 1976, after his popular predecessor, Réal Caouette, was forced to resign due to illness.
Fortin's efforts to rebuild the party were cut short when he was killed after only eight months as leader.
Fortin died in a car crash at about three in the morning on June 24, 1977, at the age of 33.
It is believed that he fell asleep while driving and his car went off the highway, where it missed a bridge and jumped over a river, slamming into the embankment on the other side.
