Olivier J. Leblanc (November 27, 1830 – December 14, 1919) was a Canadian politician of Acadian descent.
Born in Memramcook, New Brunswick, the son of Joseph Leblanc and Victorie B. Girouard, Leblanc was educated at Common Schools. A farmer, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick in 1882. His election in 1882 was protested but he was reelected in a by-election held later that year. Leblanc subsequently was a Minister without portfolio in the Executive Council from 1889 to 1891. He ran unsuccessfully for a federal seat in 1891 and was then named to the Legislative Council of New Brunswick.
