John Lynch (1862 – 15 June 1941) was an Australian politician. Born in Young, New South Wales, he received a primary education before becoming a road contractor and dam sinker. He also selected land at Thuddingra. In 1914, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Labor member for Werriwa, defeating Liberal MP Alfred Conroy. Lynch was one of the Labor members who followed Prime Minister Billy Hughes when he left the Labor Party in 1916 and formed the Nationalist Party with the Liberals. Lynch won re-election as a Nationalist in 1917 but was defeated in 1919 by Labor's Bert Lazzarini. He became a farmer and rural writer before his death in 1941.[1]
