Bryan Lee Slaton (born February 2, 1978) is a former pastor and American politician. A member of the Republican Party, Slaton represented the 2nd district in the Texas House of Representatives from 2021 to 2023. Slaton also works for his family business, Slaton Financial Services.
In May 2023, Slaton resigned and was later expelled from the Texas House in a unanimous vote of 147-0 after a committee report found that Slaton had provided alcohol to, and had sex with, a 19-year-old female legislative aide under his employ who was "unable to give effective consent." He was the first member of the Texas Legislature to be expelled since 1927.
