Lionel Francis Kelly (10 December 1896 – 16 April 1977) was an Australian politician who was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia from 1941 to 1968.
Kelly later moved to Bullfinch, a small town in the eastern Wheatbelt, where he ran a store.
[1] Kelly first stood for parliament at the 1939 state election, as an "independent Labor" candidate, but was defeated in the seat of Yilgarn-Coolgardie by the endorsed Labor candidate, George Lambert.
Lambert died in office in June 1941, and Kelly won the resulting by-election as an Independent Country candidate.
Kelly was married twice, firstly in 1924 to Inez Marie Jackson, with whom he had three children.
