}}Lynne Michele Walker (born 19 June 1962) is an Australian politician. She was a Labor member of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly from 2008 to 2016, representing the seat of Nhulunbuy[1]

Walker was an outspoken critic of the former Country Liberals' government's management of the closure at the Rio Tinto aluminum refinery.

On 23 April 2015, Walker was installed as deputy leader under Michael Gunner, and hence Deputy Leader of the Opposition, following the Northern Territory leadership challenge.[2]

With pollsters and commentators having universally written off the CLP government ahead of the 2016 Territory election, Walker was heavily tipped to become Deputy Chief Minister. However, in a shock result, while Labor won the third-biggest majority in Territory history, Walker fell behind independent challenger and indigenous activist Yingiya Mark Guyula as returns came in. Walker was ultimately defeated by eight votes, the only Labor incumbent to be defeated at the election.[3][4][5][6]
