John Maurice "Jack" Power (15 December 1883 – 13 January 1925) was an Australian politician. Born in Hay, New South Wales, he worked as a tram driver. In 1918, he was Mayor of Paddington Municipal Council. In 1921, he was elected President of the New South Wales Labor Party, and he was editor of Labor News from 1923 to 1924. On 20 November 1924, he was appointed to the Australian Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Allan McDougall. However, he died under two months later on 13 January 1925, necessitating the appointment of NSW ALP Assistant Secretary William Gibbs.[1]
