John D. Wallace (born March 26, 1949) is a Canadian politician and an Independent member^[1] of the Canadian Senate. On December 22, 2008, it was announced that he would be appointed on the advice of Stephen Harper to the Senate.^[2] He assumed office on January 2, 2009.

In 2014, The Hill Times reported that Wallace was part of a bipartisan group of Liberal and Conservative Senators that secretly met to discuss how to reform the Senate from within.^[1]

On November 18, 2015, Wallace announced that he was leaving the Conservative caucus because of irreconcilable differences between himself and party leadership over the role of partisanship in the Senate, citing the 2014 Supreme Court Reference that declared that the Fathers of Confederation wanted the Senate to be "thoroughly independent."^[1]
