Christian Ouellet, MP (born April 22, 1934) is a politician from the Canadian province of Quebec. He represented Brome—Missisquoi in the House of Commons of Canada from 2006 to 2011 as a member of the Bloc Québécois.
He is not to be confused with another Christian Ouellet, who has worked as an organizer and policy strategist for the Quebec Liberal Party.
Ouellet was born in Montreal. An architect by profession, he joined the Ordre des architectes du Québec in 1969 and took a Master's Degree in building from the University of Manchester in England (1972–75). He has promoted ecological housing since 1973 and was a finalist for the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's Healthy Housing Design Competition in 1991.
Ouellet has chaired the Solar Energy Society of Canada and the Parti Québécois's national committee on Environment and Sustainable Development. He taught architecture at the Université de Montréal and lectured at the Université du Québec à Montréal.
Ouellet was active with the Bloc Québécois and its provincial counterpart, the Parti Québécois, before running for office himself. He first sought election to the House of Commons in the 2004 federal election and finished a close second against incumbent Liberal cabinet minister Denis Paradis in Brome—Missisquoi. He challenged Paradis again in the 2006 election and won by over five thousand votes.
