Patrick James Whelan était un tailleur irlandais soupçonné d'être un sympathisant fénian qui fut exécuté par pendaison après l'assassinat du diplomate canadien Thomas D'Arcy McGee, le 7 avril 1868, à Ottawa. Il fut le premier assassin politique dans l'histoire du Canada et encore aujourd'hui, le meurtre et le procès restent un mystère au sujet de la culpabilité de Whelan.

Patrick James Whelan (c. 1840 – 11 February 1869) was a suspected Fenian supporter executed following the 1868 assassination of Irish journalist and politician Thomas D'Arcy McGee. He maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings, but the government needed somebody to blame, and although the evidence against Whelan was entirely circumstantial, he was "the perfect candidate". Questions about his guilt continue to be voiced, as his trial was "marred" by political interference, dubious legal procedures, allegations of bribing witnesses and easily discredited testimony.
