Elsie Eleanore Wayne (née Fairweather; April 20, 1932 – August 23, 2016) was a Canadian politician who served as a Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament for Saint John from 1993 to 2004.

[citation needed] In the 1993 federal election, she ran as the governing Progressive Conservative Party's candidate in the riding of Saint John-Rothesay.

In this election, the Tories suffered the worst ever defeat for a governing party at the federal level in Canada.

Wayne announced her retirement from politics on February 16, 2004[2] and did not run for re-election in the 2004 election to the House of Commons of Canada.

[citation needed] Wayne considered a run for her old seat in the 2006 election,[7] but decided against a comeback.
