Mick Wallace (born 9 November 1955) is an Irish politician who has been a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from Ireland for the South constituency since July 2019. He is a member of Independents 4 Change, part of European United Left–Nordic Green Left. He was a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Wexford constituency from 2011 to 2019.
Before his election to the Dáil, Wallace has spoken out and campaigned against austerity, drug policy and discrimination against women working in prostitution. He has alleged Garda malpractice and queried whether the presence of military aircraft at Shannon Airport is in violation of Irish neutrality. His encounter on state television with former Minister for Justice and Equality, Alan Shatter, during which Shatter divulged personal information about Wallace, led in part to Shatter's resignation.
