Wayne Fraser is a Canadian politician. He represented the electoral district of Pictou East in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1993 to 1998. He was a member of the Nova Scotia Liberal Party.[2]

Fraser first attempted to enter politics in the 1988 provincial election, losing the Pictou East race to Progressive Conservative Donald Cameron.[3] He tried a second time to unseat Cameron in the 1993 election, but was defeated by over 700 votes.[4] At the time of the 1993 election, Cameron had been serving as the province's premier and, following his party's defeat, also resigned as MLA. A by-election was held on August 3, 1993, and Fraser was elected in his third attempt to win the seat.[1][5] In the 1998 election, Fraser was defeated in his re-election bid by Progressive Conservative candidate Jim DeWolfe.[6]
