François-Xavier Paradis (9 February 1844 — 27 June 1910) was a Canadian politician.
The son of François Paradis and Marcelline Coupal, Paradis represented the provincial electoral district of Napierville in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec from 1881 to 1886 as a member of the Quebec Conservative Party. He was an unsuccessful candidate for a seat in the provincial assembly in 1878 and again in 1886 and 1890.[1]
In the 1887 federal election, he stood as the Conservative Party candidate in the federal district of Napierville, but was defeated by Louis Sainte-Marie. Following Ste-Marie's resignation in 1890, Paradis was acclaimed to the seat in the resulting by-election, but he was defeated again by Liberal Dominique Monet in the 1891 election.[citation needed]
Paradis was educated at Saint-Michel and Hemmingford. He was mayor of Saint-Michel from 1880 to 1881. Paradis was married twice: to Basilide Robert in 1863 and to Marie Renaud in 1880. After his defeat for a seat in the House of Commons in 1891, he moved to Montreal, where he became involved in real estate. Paradis died there at the age of 66.[1]
