Jordan Sturdy is a Canadian politician, who represented the electoral district of West Vancouver-Sea to Sky in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia from 2013 until 2024.^[2] He is a member of BC United, having been first elected under the party's previous designation as the British Columbia Liberal Party.

Prior to his election to the legislature, Sturdy served as mayor of Pemberton for eight years.

On June 12, 2017, he was appointed to Cabinet as Minister of the Environment.^[3] When the Liberal Party became the Official Opposition, he was named Critic for Transportation and Infrastructure. Since 2020, he has served as the Shadow Minister for BC Ferries, Fisheries & Aquaculture.^[4]
