John Boyland (11 September 1874 – 14 December 1922) was an Australian trade unionist and politician who was a member of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly from 1921 until his death, representing the seat of Kalgoorlie.
He left school at an early age and eventually found his way to Queensland, where he was involved in the 1891 shearer's strike.
Boyland arrived in Western Australia in 1895, during the gold rush, and worked as an underground miner for periods in Menzies and Kalgoorlie.
[1] He stood for parliament at the 1917 state election, but was defeated by John Lutey in the seat of Brownhill-Ivanhoe.
At the 1921 election, Boyland ran in Kalgoorlie as an "independent Nationalist" candidate, and defeated the sitting Labor member, Albert Green.
