Bryon Wilfert, P.C., B.A., B.Ed., M.A., (born July 14, 1952 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian politician. He is a current member of the Canadian House of Commons, representing the riding of Richmond Hill for the Liberal Party.

Wilfert was elected as a Richmond Hill councillor in 1985. He was first elected to the House of Commons in the 1997 federal election, scoring an easy victory in the Greater Toronto Area riding of Oak Ridges . He was re-elected by an increased majority in the election of 2000, and won another easy victory in his new riding in the 2004 election.
