Angela Pitt (born 1981) is a Canadian politician who was elected in the 2015 Alberta general election to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta representing the electoral district of Airdrie. She was elected under the banner of the Wildrose Party, which then merged with the Progressive Conservative Party to form the United Conservative Party (UCP) in July 2017. She serves as the UCP Deputy House Leader and as the opposition critic for Justice. On June 20, 2018, Angela Pitt won the UCP nomination for the riding of Airdrie-East with 71% of the vote, contested by sports broadcaster Roger Millions. April 16, 2019, Pitt was re-elected in the 2019 Alberta general election, representing the Airdrie-East riding under the United Conservative Party.

Personal Life
Angela Pitt is married and has two children. She holds a business administration diploma with a major in marketing from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT). Pitt was a small business owner and managed a special events company before her life in politics. She eventually sold her business to focus primarily on her political career.

Controversies
Pitt's association with the Wildrose Party in the Airdrie community caused the claim that she may have been responsible for transferring a total of $16,000 from the Wildrose Party constituency association to a political action committee referred to as the Alberta Fund. This issue was resolved after Pitt revealed that one of the people who brought this claim against her was her opponent's campaign manager and Elections Alberta verified that transferring funds from constituency associations to a registered third party is not against the law.
