Frederick Justin Vulliamy (1913[1] October 20, 1968[2]) was a chartered accountant and politician in British Columbia. He represented Burnaby-Willingdon in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia from 1966 to 1968 as a New Democratic Party (NDP) member. He was born in Winnipeg and came to Vancouver, British Columbia with his family five years later. Vulliamy worked for the Alaska Pine Company for three years as an accountant before setting up his own practice. He was elected provincial president of the NDP in 1962. He was a director and later president of the Kitsilano Ratepayers' Association.[1] Vulliamy was an unsuccessful candidate in the provincial ridings of Vancouver Burrard in 1960 and Vancouver Centre in 1963.[2] In 1964 he moved to Burnaby and was elected to the Legislature in the 1966 provincial election. Vulliamy died in office two years later.[1]
