Jacques Parent was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1914 to 1917 as a member of the Conservative Party.
Parent lived in Letellier, Manitoba during his political career. He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the provincial election of 1914, defeating incumbent Liberal Thomas Molloy by 262 votes in the constituency of Morris. The Conservatives won a majority government in this election, and Parent served as a backbench supporter of Rodmond P. Roblin's administration.
The Roblin government was forced to resign in 1915 amid a corruption scandal, and the Conservatives were badly defeated in the election of 1915. Parent was one of only five Conservatives elected, defeating Molloy by fifty-seven votes.
Parent appears to have left the legislature in 1917. There was no by-election called to replace him, even though the legislature continued to sit for another three years.
