Lynne Michele Walker (born 19 June 1962) is an Australian politician. She is a Labor member of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly, having held the seat of Nhulunbuy since the 2008 election.[1]

Walker has been an outspoken critic of the Country Liberals' government's management of the closure at the Rio Tinto aluminum refinery. The closure will likely result in hundreds of workers and families leaving the Nhulunbuy township.

On 23 April 2015, Walker was installed as deputy leader following the Northern Territory leadership challenge.[2]
