Alana Paon (born June 26, 1971) is a Canadian politician. She was elected to the Nova Scotia House of Assembly in the 2017 provincial election representing the electoral district of Cape Breton-Richmond. She was a member of the Progressive Conservative Association of Nova Scotia until ousted from Caucus on June 24, 2019, amid a long-standing dispute over accessibility to her constituency office in St. Peter's. Paon had threatened to fight a House of Assembly Management Commission order to pave the gravel lot near her office, saying it made her feel "bullied and harassed." Nova Scotia Tory leader Tim Houston called Paon's remarks "unfounded and mean-spirited".
