Dean C. Fisher (born September 3, 1956) is the Iowa State Representative from the 72nd District. A Republican, he has served in the Iowa House of Representatives since 2013.
During the 2017 legislative session, Fisher voted to shorten both the amount of time one may cast an absentee ballot and the number of days one can vote at satellite polling sites, and he voted to require all voters to present a state-issued ID. Though he voted for the measure, the bill was opposed by the Iowa State Association of Counties, an advocacy group for Iowa's disabled, and Iowa's Department on Aging opposed the bill.
Fisher was born and raised in Garwin, Iowa in Tama County. He resides in rural Garwin, on a farm which has been in his family since 1852.
Fisher is a 1975 graduate of South Tama Community High School. He earned a B.S. from DeVry Institute of Technology in Chicago, Illinois in 1978.
Fisher was the Chair of his county's Republican Party from 2010 to 2011.
