Joseph Michel Fournier (September 29, 1905 – December 6, 1992) was a Canadian politician.

Born in the village of Pointe-Verte, New Brunswick, Michel Fournier was educated at the academy in Tracadie and graduated in 1927 with a BA degree from University of St. Joseph's College in Memramcook.

A farmer who was active in his industry, Michel Fournier was a director of the Green Point Co-Op.

Fournier was elected to the 40th New Brunswick Legislative Assembly as a Liberal candidate in the Gloucester riding in a by-election triggered when Clovis-Thomas Richard resigned to run in the 1945 Canadian federal election.

Following his party taking power in the 1960 New Brunswick general election, new Premier Louis Robichaud appointed Fournier to the Cabinet as Minister of Industry and Development on July 12, 1960.
