Gideon Striker (c. 1825 – October 6, 1886) was an Ontario businessman and political figure. He represented Prince Edward in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as a Liberal member from 1872 to 1883.
He was born in Prince Edward County circa 1825[1][2] and educated in Picton. He was a druggist and sold groceries as well. Striker also served as reeve of Picton, warden for the county and lieutenant-colonel in the local militia. He was elected in 1871 to the provincial assembly but the election was declared invalid; he lost the subsequent by-election to James Simeon McCuaig but was declared elected later in 1872. He died suddenly in Montreal in 1886.[3]
