André Bissonnette, PC (born June 25, 1945) is a businessman and former Canadian politician.

Bissonnette, a businessman in the manufacturing industry, was elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 1984 election as the Member of Parliament for Saint-Jean, Quebec, in the Progressive Conservative landslide that brought Brian Mulroney to power.

He was appointed by the new prime minister to the Cabinet as Minister of State for Small Business (1984-1986), and Minister of State for Transport (1986-1987). He was forced to resign from Cabinet on January 19, 1987, when it became known that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police was investigating his alleged involvement in land speculation in his riding. He did not run for re-election in the 1988 election and left politics.
