Donald Fisher Fraser (August 16, 1872 – March 13, 1946) was a Canadian politician. He represented the electoral district of Pictou County in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1933 to 1937. He was a member of the Nova Scotia Liberal Party.[1]

Fraser was born in 1872 at Goldenville, Nova Scotia.[2] He married Evelyn Woodman in 1926, and was the editor and publisher of the Eastern Chronicle newspaper.[2] Fraser first attempted to enter provincial politics in the 1928 election, but was defeated.[3] He ran again in 1933, and was elected in the dual-member Pictou County riding with Liberal Josiah H. MacQuarrie.[4] Fraser resigned his seat on April 23, 1937.[1] Following his resignation, he was elected a municipal councillor, and served as the registrar of deeds for Pictou County.[2] Fraser died at New Glasgow on March 13, 1946.[2]
