Caroline Proulx is a Canadian politician who was elected to the National Assembly of Quebec in the 2018 provincial election.[1] She represented the electoral district of Berthier as a member of the Coalition Avenir Québec and was the Minister of Tourism.[2] She did not seek re-election in the 2026 general election.

In July 2026, she was ordered by a judge to pay over $60,000 after it was ruled that Proulx had violated the freedom of expression of an evangelical Christian organization as a Cabinet minister, when the government did not allow the faith group to hold an event in Quebec City in 2023.[3]
