Dana Lajeunesse is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in the 2024 British Columbia general election. He represents the electoral district of Juan de Fuca-Malahat as a member of the British Columbia New Democratic Party.

Born and raised in Jordan River, Lajeunesse worked in forestry until an accident left him a wheelchair user. He retrained in mechanical engineering at Camosun College, later working as an engineering technician and an instructor at the college. He served on the municipal council of the district municipality of Sooke from 2019 until his election to the legislature.

He won his provincial assembly seat in the 2024 British Columbia general election, although due to his narrow lead his victory was not confirmed until a recount finalized the result over a week after election day.
