Roger Lapointe (born September 10, 1940) is a Canadian politician in the province of Quebec. He was a Liberal member of the National Assembly of Quebec from 1973 to 1976 and has been the mayor of Mont-Saint-Michel since 1997.
Lapointe was born in Ferme-Neuve, Quebec. He has a bachelor of arts degree (1961) and a teaching degree (1962) from the Université Laval, and in 1971 he earned a degree in educational administration from the Université de Montréal. Lapointe taught math and sciences in Mont-Laurier in the Commission scolaire Henri-Bourassa from 1962 to 1966, was coordinator of education from 1966 to 1970, and served as director of education from 1970 to 1973.
Lapointe was founder and president of the Commission scolaire Henri-Bourassa teaching association, and from 1964 to 1966 he was a member of the provincial council of the Corporation des enseignants du Québec. He also served as president of the board of directors of the Notre-Dame-de-Sainte-Croix hospital in Mont-Laurier in the early 1970s.
Lapointe was elected to the National Assembly of Quebec in the 1973 provincial election, defeating Union Nationale incumbent Fernand Lafontaine in the division of Labelle. The Liberal Party won a landslide majority government in this election under Robert Bourassa's leadership, and Lapointe served for the next three years as a government backbencher. He was defeated by Parti Québécois candidate Jacques Léonard in the 1976 provincial election.
