Sir John Douglas Hazen, K.C.M.G., P.C. (June 5, 1860 – December 27, 1937) was a politician in New Brunswick, Canada.
Hazen entered politics in 1885 when he was elected as an alderman in Fredericton, New Brunswick. He became mayor in 1888.
Hazen was elected to the Canadian House of Commons as a Conservative candidate in the 1891 federal election. He lost his seat in the 1896 election that defeated the Conservatives and brought Wilfrid Laurier's Liberals to power.
He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick in 1899, and became leader of the opposition. Hazen rebuilt the Conservative Party which had been out of power since 1883. He led the party into government in the 1908 provincial election.
As premier, Hazen fought political corruption and attempts by the federal government to reduce the Maritime provinces' representation in the federal House of Commons.
He left provincial politics in 1911 to become federal Minister of Marine and Fisheries and Minister of Naval Services in the government of Sir Robert Borden. During the First World War, he served in the Imperial War Cabinet. Hazen left politics in October 1917 to become Chief Justice of New Brunswick.
He was interred in the Fernhill Cemetery in Saint John, New Brunswick.
