Lisa Bunker is an American politician who was elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives in 2018.[1] She represents the Rockingham 18th District as a member of the Democratic Party.

Bunker and Gerri Cannon were elected simultaneously as the state's first transgender state legislators.[2]

Before her election to the legislature, Bunker was program director of a community radio station in Portland, Maine. In 2017, she published a middle-grade science fiction novel, Felix Yz, about a boy fused with an alien and the risky procedure to separate them.[3] Her second middle-grade novel, Zenobia July (2019), is about a young trans girl finally living as herself and solving a cyber mystery.[4] Both are published by Penguin Random House.
