Gaston Demers (November 23, 1935-February 7, 2004) was a Canadian politician, who represented the electoral district of Nickel Belt in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1963 to 1971. He was a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario.

Before entering politics, Demers had worked as a journalist for the "North Bay Nugget" and as a town clerk in Chelmsford. At the time of his election, he was the youngest Member of Provincial Parliament ever elected to the provincial legislature.

After leaving politics, he served on the boards of FedNor and of Sudbury's Laurentian Hospital, and was a key lobbyist behind the creation of Collège Boréal.
