Fernand-E. Leblanc (1 July 1917 – 8 January 1996) was a Liberal party member of the House of Commons of Canada and then the Senate of Canada. He was born in Montreal, Quebec and became a chartered accountant by career. He was also a councillor for the municipality of Saint-Hippolyte, Quebec prior to entering federal politics.[1]

He was first elected at the Laurier riding in a 10 February 1964 by-election, serving in the latter portion of the 26th Canadian Parliament. Leblanc was re-elected to consecutive terms at Laurier until 1979 when he was appointed to the Senate for the Saurel, Quebec division. Leblanc remained a senator until 1 July 1992.

Leblanc's funeral was held in Montreal on 12 January 1996.[1]
