Maurice Fenelon (1834 – January 31, 1897) was an Irish-born educator, merchant and political figure in Newfoundland.
He was born in County Carlow and came to St. John's in 1856 to teach at Saint Bonaventure's College.
In 1889, he was removed from the Executive Council after a change in government and was an unsuccessful candidate for a seat in the assembly in 1889 and 1892.
Fenelon was named to the Legislative Council in 1894 by Conservative leader Augustus Frederick Goodridge and served until his death in St. John's in 1897.
William Joseph Browne, Member of the Canadian Parliament, began his legal career as a law clerk to John Fenelon.
