John James MacLellan (July 26, 1878 – September 17, 1955)[1] was a provincial politician from Alberta, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1930 to 1935 sitting with the United Farmers caucus in government. During his time in office he briefly served as a cabinet minister in the government of Premier Richard Reid from 1934 to 1935.

Political career

MacLellan ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature in the 1930 Alberta general election as a United Farmers candidate in the electoral district of Taber. He won a closely contested two way race over an independent candidate to hold the district for his party.[2]

MacLellan was promoted to the Executive Council of Alberta by Premier Richard Reid on July 14, 1934 to run the Public Works portfolio. He ran for re-election in the 1935 Alberta general election but was defeated finishing a distant second place out of three candidates losing to Social Credit candidate James Hansen.[3]
