Percy Bengough (1883-10 August 1972) was an English-Canadian machinist and trade union leader. Born in 1883 in London, England, Bengough emigrated to Canada in 1905. Employed as a machinist, he was active in labour unions, including the Amalgamated Society of Engineers and, beginning in 1916, the International Association of Machinists. In politics, he was a moderate with close ties to the Liberal Party of Canada. He also supported the creation of Canadian unions rather than the more common process of Canadian unions affiliating with an existing union based in the United States.
