Maurice E. Ridley (February 25, 1915 – October 2, 1960) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Progressive Conservative from 1957 to 1960, and was a cabinet minister in the government of Dufferin Roblin.[1]

The son of John Sutherland Ridley, he was born in Manitou, Manitoba, and later worked as a cattle buyer. Ridley served in the Canadian Army during World War II. From 1948 to 1957, he was mayor of Manitou.[2]

Ridley was first elected to the legislature in a by-election held on November 14, 1957, in the constituency of Manitou–Morden.[1] He handily defeated his Liberal-Progressive opponent David Lumgair, in a seat that was considered safe for the Progressive Conservative Party.

He was re-elected in the Pembina riding in the 1958 provincial election, in which the Tories under Dufferin Roblin formed a minority government. Ridley was a government backbencher during this period.[1]

Returned again by a landslide in the 1959 election, he was appointed to cabinet on December 21, 1959, as Minister of Municipal Affairs. His time in office was short,[1] as he died in Manitou in late 1960.[2]
