Melville Bertram Couvelier (January 20, 1931 – May 30, 2011) was a businessman and political figure in British Columbia. He represented Saanich and the Islands from 1986 to 1991 in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia as a Social Credit member. He ran for the party leadership once more in 1991. Placing a distant third behind frontrunners Rita Johnston and Grace McCarthy, Couvelier became a "queenmaker". Despite previous animosity with Johnston, he backed her over McCarthy, leading to Johnston's victory.
