Noel Albert Butcher (19 November 1894 – 23 January 1968) was an Australian businessman and politician who served as an independent member of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia from 1951 to 1953, representing the seat of Gascoyne.
He left school at the age of 14, and began working at the Midland Railway Workshops as an apprentice fitter and turner.
Butcher enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) during World War II, serving with engineering and field radar units.
[1] Butcher entered parliament at the 1951 Gascoyne by-election, caused by the resignation of Frank Wise (a former Labor premier).
Butcher's time in politics was short-lived, however, as he was defeated by Labor's Daniel Norton at the 1953 state election.
