Melville Bertram "Mel" Couvelier (January 20, 1931[1] – May 30, 2011[2]) 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 was born in Vancouver, British Columbia. In 1948, Couvelier married Milly Quakenbush. He was employed by Crown Zellerbach, a paper manufacturing company, then went on to operate a general store in Coal Harbour. In 1960, the family moved to Victoria. There, he became the owner of Maplewood Poultry Processors and later established Couvelier's Fine Apparel.[1] He was mayor of Saanich from 1977 to 1986. Couvelier served in the provincial cabinet as Minister of Finance.[1] He ran for the leadership of the provincial Social Credit party in 1986[2] and 1991. In 2008, Couvelier was unsuccessful in a bid to become mayor of Sidney, British Columbia.[3] He died in Saanich at the age of 80.[4]
