John Joseph Brennan was a Northern Irish politician. He stood for the British House of Commons in Belfast West at the 1959 UK general election, representing the Northern Ireland Independent Labour Party, receiving 37.6% of the vote.
In 1962 he stood for the Belfast Falls constituency at the Northern Ireland general election, 1962, before becoming a founder member of the National Democratic Party.
Under the National Democratic banner, Brennan won Belfast Central at the 1965 Northern Ireland election without facing an opponent - the only member of that party to win election at this level.
However, at the 1969 election, he was defeated by Paddy Kennedy of the Republican Labour Party.
