Jean-Noël Tremblay, CM (born June 7, 1926) is a former Canadian politician, who made career at both the federal and the provincial levels.
He was born on June 7, 1926 in Saint-André-du-Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec.
Tremblay was elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 1958 election representing the Quebec riding of Roberval and was a member of the Progressive Conservative Party. He lost re-election in 1962, when for the first time the Social Credit Party made a significant breakthrough in Quebec.
He won a seat to the National Assembly of Quebec, representing Chicoutimi, in 1966 and was a member of the Union Nationale. From 1966 to 1970, Tremblay was the Minister of Cultural Affairs in the cabinets of Daniel Johnson, Sr and Jean-Jacques Bertrand. He was known in this period as a vocal Quebec nationalist.
Tremblay supported Jean-Guy Cardinal over Jean-Jacques Bertrand during the party's leadership convention, held on June 21, 1969.
He was re-elected to the legislature in 1970, but was defeated in 1973.
