Valentin Landry (February 14, 1844 – May 17, 1919) was a Canadian educator and journalist of Acadian descent.
The son of Joseph-Auguste Landry and Olive Robichaud, he was born in Pokemouche, New Brunswick and was educated there and in Shediac and at Westmorland Grammar School, where he received a commercial studies diploma, and later continued his education at St. Joseph's College.
Landry ran for the Digby County seat in the provincial assembly in 1878 as a Liberal but withdrew to join the preparatory division of the normal school at Fredericton.
[1] In 1885, Landry helped found the newspaper Courrier des provinces Maritimes in Bathurst and served on its board of directors until 1887.
In 1910, to ensure the continued operation of the newspaper after attracting the opposition of the Catholic Church, he transferred its ownership to a separate company and relinquished the position of editor.
