John W. Aldag[1] (born April 18, 1963) is a Canadian politician, who represented the riding of Cloverdale—Langley City in the House of Commons of Canada as a Liberal MP from 2015 to 2019 and 2021 to 2024.

He was first elected in the 2015 federal election, and served until his defeat in the 2019 Canadian federal election.[2] In the 2021 federal election he won his seat back over incumbent Conservative Tamara Jansen.[3]
