Dalton James Patrick McGuinty Sr. (August 13, 1926 – March 16, 1990) was a politician in Ontario, Canada. He was a Liberal of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1987 to 1990. He represented the riding of Ottawa South. He is better known as the father of Dalton McGuinty who was Premier of Ontario from 2003 to 2013 and David McGuinty who has been a member of the House of Commons of the Parliament of Canada since 2004.
McGuinty was born in Osceola, Ontario to Charles McGuinty and Dora (Foley). The family later moved to Ottawa, Ontario. He was educated at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York, the University of Ottawa and Harvard Business School. He worked as professor of English at the University of Ottawa and served as a separate school trustee on the Ottawa Board of Education from 1972 to the end of 1986. His position as a separate school trustee ended in December 1986 when full funding for separate schools was implemented.
He was married to a nurse, Elizabeth Pexton, with whom he had six sons and four daughters. Two of his sons were notable politicians in their own right - former Premier of Ontario, Dalton McGuinty, and David McGuinty, a member of the House of Commons of the Parliament of Canada.
