Chandra Pasma (born c. 1980)^[3] is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in the 2022 provincial election.^[4] She represents the district of Ottawa West—Nepean as a member of the Ontario New Democratic Party.^[5]

Before her election as MPP for Ottawa West—Nepean, Pasma worked as a public policy researcher for the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE). Previously, she served as an advisor to the federal New Democratic Party.

Pasma has also worked for Citizens for Public Justice, and prior to that worked for Conservative MP Dave MacKenzie until 2006.^[6]

On July 13, 2022 Pasma was named as the Official Opposition critic for poverty and homelessness reduction by interim ONDP leader Peter Tabuns.^[7] She was later made education critic after Marit Stiles resigned to run for the 2023 Ontario New Democratic Party leadership election.

On November 23, 2022 Pasma put forward a private member's bill, Protecting Human Rights in an Emergency Act which would require apartment buildings to possess emergency generators capable of powering water pumps and elevators.^[8] The bill was prompted by the impacts of the May 2022 Canadian derecho in Ottawa; which left many apartment residents without water for over ten days, and trapped residents with mobility issues.^[9][10] The bill was defeated on second reading by a vote of 30-66; being opposed by the majority Progressive Conservative government.^[11]

In the 2023 Ontario New Democratic Party leadership election Pasma endorsed Marit Stiles in her successful bid for leadership of the party; replacing outgoing leader Andrea Horwath.^[12]
