Jake H. Josvanger (December 22, 1908 – June 30, 1966) was a former provincial and municipal level politician from Alberta, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1955 to 1959 sitting with the Liberal caucus in opposition. He was also a municipal councilor for the Municipal District of Bonnyville No. 87.
He was elected later that year as a municipal councilor for the Municipal District of Bonnyville No. 87 in the first election held after its creation in 1955.[3] Josvanger would serve both political posts.
Josvanger ran for a second term in provincial office in the 1959 Alberta general election. He was defeated by Social Credit candidate Karl Nordstrom, finishing second in the three way race.[4]
