Marcel Léger was a Canadian politician, who represented the electoral district of Cochrane North in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1949 to 1951."PC Is Elected, CCF Trails In N. Cochrane". The Globe and Mail, June 9, 1949.
A teacher from Hearst, he won the district in a by-election following the death in office of his predecessor, John Carrère."Cochrane North Votes Tomorrow To Elect MPP". The Globe and Mail, June 7, 1949. A member of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party, his sole challenger was a member of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, which led premier Leslie Frost to assert that the vote was a high-stakes battle in which free enterprise was at stake."Free Enterprise At Stake in Vote, Asserts Premier". The Globe and Mail, May 26, 1949.
Léger served in the backbenches throughout his time in the legislature, although he was given the honour of seconding the motion to accept the Speech from the Throne at the start of the 1950 session."Ontario Plans to End Bias in Property Deals: Labor Code, Housing Plan On Agenda". The Globe and Mail, February 17, 1950. Outside of the house, he worked to help establish a senior's home in Hearst."Hearst to Get Home for Aged With Ontario Aid". The Globe and Mail, March 21, 1951.
Léger did not run for another term in the 1951 Ontario general election.
