Ian Lindsay Tuxworth (born 18 June 1942) is an Australian politician, who was Chief Minister of the Northern Territory of Australia from 17 October 1984 until he resigned on 10 May 1986.
He then resigned from the Country Liberal Party and formed the NT Nationals Party.At the 1987 election he was elected as an NT Nationals member in his seat of Barkly by a margin of 19 votes.
His victory was annulled by the Court of Disputed Returns after a successful challenge from losing independent candidate Maggie Hickey.
On 5 September 1987, he won a by-election, again defeating Hickey, who was now representing the Labor Party (ALP).
After a redistribution turned Barkly into a nominally Labor-held seat, Tuxworth stood unsuccessfully in the seat of Goyder in the 1990 election.Tuxworth and Jodeen Carney are the only CLP leaders who have never led the party to an election.
