Dr. Sir Étienne-Paschal Taché KCMG (5 September 1795 – 30 July 1865) was a Canadian doctor, politician and one of the Fathers of Confederation.
Born in Montmagny, Quebec, he was elected to the new Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada in 1841 as a member from Canada East (Quebec) and held numerous posts in successive administrations. In 1864, he formed the Great Coalition which was ultimately responsible for Canadian Confederation, and he presided over the Quebec City conference of 1864.
