John Oliver (July 31, 1856 – August 17, 1927) was a British-Canadian politician and farmer, who served as the 19th premier of British Columbia.

As a prominent figure in the province’s early political landscape, Oliver served in various capacities, including as leader of the Opposition and minister of Agriculture, and contributed significantly to the development of British Columbia’s agricultural and railway sectors.

After serving as the leader of the Opposition, he lost his seat in 1909 but returned the legislature in the 1916 election.

Under his leadership, his administration prioritized agricultural development, notably in the Okanagan Valley, which became a hub for the province's produce industry.

Oliver's government also advocated for reduced rail freight rates to improve the economic viability of British Columbia’s agricultural exports.
