Edmond P. Blanchard QC (May 31, 1954 – June 27, 2014) was a Canadian jurist and politician.
He practised law in Campbellton, New Brunswick until 1987 when he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick in the 1987 general election as a member of the Liberal Party, which won every seat in the legislature.
He was re-elected to a third term in the 1995 election and given the senior portfolio of finance minister.
His good looks, fluent bilingualism, and success as Minister of Finance made him a strong candidate to succeed Frank McKenna for the Liberal leadership in 1998.
Blanchard continued in the finance ministry after Camille Thériault became Premier of New Brunswick and was re-elected to his Campbellton riding in 1999.
