Beryl Gaffney (née Clark; born April 1, 1930) is a Canadian former politician and public servant. She served as a city councillor in Nepean, Ontario from 1978 to 1988 serving concurrently on the council of the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton.
Born in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, she was elected to the House of Commons of Canada as the Liberal MP for Nepean in the 1988 federal election and was re-elected in 1993. She served as chair of the Standing Committee on Human Rights and the Status of Disabled Persons from 1994 to 1996.[2] During this period she was diagnosed with a brain tumour and, after successful surgery, was able to return to the House of Commons to resume her valuable contribution to health issues.[3] She did not run for re-election in 1997.[4]
In 1998, Gaffney was appointed to the Board of Governors of the International Development Research Centre by Foreign Minister Lloyd Axworthy.[citation needed]
