Lynn C. Gardner (1877-1948) was a Republican politician from Michigan who served in the Michigan House of Representatives from 1925 through 1930. He served as Speaker of the House during the 54th Legislature.[1]

Born to Robert and Frances Gardner in 1877, Gardner was educated in the local schools and became a farmer and teacher in Iosco Township. Gardner was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Grange, the Farm Bureau and the Farmers Union.[2]

Prior to his election to the House in 1922, Gardner served on the local school board, as a township supervisor, and as justice of the peace.
