John Connor (14 February 1944 – 27 January 2024) was an Irish Fine Gael politician. He was elected to Dáil Éireann at the 1981 general election as a Fine Gael Teachta Dála (TD) for the Roscommon constituency.[1]

Connor lost his seat at the February 1982 general election, and was not elected at the November 1982 general election. He was nominated by the Taoiseach Garret FitzGerald to the 17th Seanad in February 1983. He was elected to the Agricultural Panel of the 18th Seanad in 1987. At the 1989 general election he re-gained his Dáil seat for the Roscommon constituency, and was re-elected for the new Longford–Roscommon constituency at the 1992 general election.[2]

Connor again lost his Dáil seat at the 1997 general election but was again elected to the Agricultural Panel of the 21st Seanad. At the 2002 general election he failed to get elected to the Dáil and he also lost his Seanad seat.[2]

In 1999, he was elected to Roscommon County Council, and was re-elected at the 2004 local elections. He did not contest the 2009 local elections.[2]

Connor died in a road traffic collision in Frenchpark on 27 January 2024, at the age of 79.[3][4]
