Linda Dillon is an Irish Sinn Féin politician from Northern Ireland. She has been an MLA for Mid Ulster since 2016.
Originally elected as a Mid-Ulster councillor for the Torrent DEA, she served as the inaugural chairperson of Mid-Ulster District Council since its inception in April 2015 and also sat on the Council's Development Committee until being elected to Stormont in May 2016.
