Étienne Poulin (June 27, 1835 – October 25, 1901) was a farmer and political figure in Quebec. He represented Rouville in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec from 1881 to 1886 as a Conservative.

He was born in Sainte-Marie-de-Monnoir, Lower Canada, the son of Étienne Poulin and Charlotte Hébert, and was educated at the Collège de Saint-Hyacinthe. In 1854, he married Marcelline Vigeant. Poulin was president of the school board for Marieville from 1868 to 1871 and from 1881 to 1882. He was mayor of Sainte-Marie-de-Monnoir in 1882.
