Norman William MacLeod (8 September 1927 – 13 January 2021) was a Canadian business executive and politician who was active in the Liberal Party of Canada and served as its President from 1980 until 1982.
[3][4] In 1980, MacLeod was elected party president by a two-vote margin over former cabinet minister Martin O'Connell.
He was challenged for the party presidency in 1982 by former cabinet minister Iona Campagnolo who defeated him in his bid for re-election.
[1][6] MacLeod suffered because of the poor financial state of the party, including difficulties with a weak fundraising record, and his reputation as a supporter of John Turner.
[1][3] MacLeod was a founding member and a chair of the National Board of Directors at the Better Business Bureau of Canada.
