Gideon Striker (c. 1825 – October 6, 1886) was an Ontario businessman and political figure. He represented Prince Edward in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as a Liberal member from 1872 to 1883.
He was born in Prince Edward County circa 1825[1][2] and educated in Picton. He was a druggist and sold groceries as well. Striker also served as reeve of Picton, warden for the county and lieutenant-colonel in the local militia.
