Linda Bennett (born February 9, 1954) is an American politician. She is a former member of the South Carolina House of Representatives from the 114th District, serving from 2016 to 2022. She is a member of the Republican Party.
In an interview in December 2013, Bennett said of restaurant workers: "If [working in a restaurant] is your lifetime job, God help us. If your lifetime goal is to get up every day and slap a burger on a bun and give it to someone- you have no life. You don't ever deserve to make anything."
In March 2019, Bennett caused controversy after she posted a misleading photo of Democratic congressman Joe Cunningham (SC-01) on social media. That same month, Will Sommer of The Daily Beast reported that Bennett had endorsed and made numerous Facebook posts about the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory.
