Maurice Byblow is a former Canadian politician, who represented the electoral district of Faro in the Yukon Legislative Assembly from 1978 to 1985.

Originally elected as an independent, Byblow joined the Yukon New Democratic Party caucus on September 16, 1981. He retired in 1985, and was succeeded by Jim McLachlan. He then stood for re-election in 1989, and served again until 1996. He was later implicated in a conflict of interest allegation against NDP leader Piers McDonald, although McDonald and Byblow were both eventually cleared.

Byblow purchased the Capital Hotel in downtown Whitehorse in 1997, and worked as a hotelier until selling the hotel in early 2008.[1]
