John Bryson (November 30, 1849 - January 20, 1896) was a Quebec lumberman, farmer and political figure. He represented Pontiac in the House of Commons of Canada from 1882 to 1891 and from 1892 to 1896 as a Conservative Party of Canada member.
He was born in Fort Coulonge, Canada East, the son of George Bryson, Sr. and Robina Cobb.[1] In 1874, he married Mary, the daughter of Thomas Bryson.[2] Bryson was mayor of Mansfield-et-Pontefract from 1882 to 1889 and mayor of Fort Coulonge from 1889 to 1890.[3] He was defeated when he ran for reelection provincially in 1891 by Thomas Murray but, following an appeal of the election results, won the by-election held in 1892. Bryson died in office at the age of 46.
His brother George served as a member of the province's Legislative Council.
