Wallace Leslie Lawler (15 March 1912 – 28 September 1972) was a British Liberal politician. He was elected a Member of Parliament (MP) by gaining the Birmingham Ladywood constituency from Labour at a by-election on 26 June 1969. However, he only served for one year; Labour's Doris Fisher regained the seat from him at the 1970 general election. Lawler was the last Liberal to serve as a Member of Parliament in Birmingham until John Hemming, of the successor Liberal Democrats, gained Birmingham Yardley in 2005.
