Maurice Hartt (1895-04-15 – 1950-03-15) was a Canadian politician.
Born in Romania, the son of Saul Hartt and Malia Segal, he immigrated to Canada when he was twelve. He studied law at Queen's University and was called to the Quebec Bar in 1935. He was created a King's Counsel in 1942 and practiced law in Montreal. He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Quebec in the riding of Montréal-Saint-Louis in 1939. A Liberal, he was re-elected in 1944. He resigned in 1947, when he was elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the riding of Cartier in a 1947 by-election called when Fred Rose's seat was declared vacant by a resolution of the House of Commons. A federal Liberal, he was re-elected in 1949. He died in office in 1950.
His son, Stanley Hartt, was Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's Chief of Staff from 1989 to 1990. A second son, Joel Hartt, was a Professor at John Abbott College in St. Anne de Bellevue until 2006. Joel was elected School Commissioner at the Lakeshore School Board, over which he presided as Chairman from 1972 to 1993. He remained as a School Commissioner until he was defeated in 2003.
