Bob Lagassé is a Canadian provincial politician, who was elected as the Member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba for the riding of Dawson Trail in the 2016 election. He currently sits as an Independent.

At his constituency's nomination meeting in 2015, Lagassé pulled off a surprise upset victory by defeating three high-profile candidates, including former Association of Manitoba Municipalities president Doug Dobrowoski, to earn the nomination in the constituency. Lagassé is known for his sleeve-length tattoo and earrings, which is considered unique for the fact the riding of Dawson Trail is known for a strong conservative demographic. Lagassé is of French and Métis origin.

He was re-elected in the 2019 and 2023 provincial elections. On October 24, 2023, he was appointed as the Shadow Minister for Mental Health and the Shadow Minister for Francophone Affairs.
