'''John Patrick “Jack” Murtha, Jr.''' ([[17. 6.|17. jun]] [[1932]]- [[8. 2.|8. februar]] [[2010]].) je [[sjedinjene Američke Države|američki]] [[Demokratska stranka SAD|demokratski]] [[Politika SAD|političar]] koji je od 1974. godine do smrti u [[Predstavnički dom SAD|Predstavničkom domu Kongresa]] zastupao [[Pennsylvanijski 12. kongresni okrug|12. okrug Pennsylvanije]]. Murtha je bivši profesionalni oficir [[Marinski zbor SAD|američkih marinaca]] koji je u činu pukovnika sudjelovao u [[vijetnamski rat|vijetnamskom ratu]]. Godine 1969. je otpočeo političku karijeru u Zastupničkom domu Pennsylvanije, a godine 1974. je postao prvi vijetnamski veteran izabran u američki Kongres.

Godine 1980. Murtha je bio predmet federalne istrage zbog umiješanosti u aferu [[Abscam]], ali je njegova politička karijera preživjela. S vremenom je stekao reputaciju "[[jastreb (politika)|jastreba]]", odnosno pripadnika desnog krila Demokratske stranke koje se zalagalo za snaženje vojske. Zbog toga je izazvao veliku pažnju kada se [[2005]]. godine usprotivio daljnem angažmanu američke vojske [[rat u Iraku|u Iraku]], proglasivši rat izgubljenim i zatraživši hitno povlačenje američkih snaga.

Kada su godine 2006. demokrati na [[Izbori za Predstavnički dom Kongresa SAD 2006|izborima]] osvojili većinu u Kongresu, pokušao je, uz pomoć nove [[Predsjednik Zastupničkog doma SAD|predsjednice Predstavničkog doma]] [[Nancy Pelosi]] osvojiti mjesto [[Stranački vođe u Predstavničkom domu SAD|vođe kongresne većine,<ref name=Murtharun>{{cite news |first= |last= |authorlink=Associated Press |author= |coauthors= |title=Murtha to Run for House Majority Leader if Dems Prevail in November |url=http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,198941,00.html |publisher=FOXNews |date = 9. 6. 2006 |accessdate = 28. 10. 2006}}</ref>.<ref name=Pelosi.Murtha>{{cite news |first= |last= |authorlink==CNN |title=Pelosi supports Murtha for majority leader|url=http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/11/12/pelosi.murtha/index.html |publisher=CNN |date = 12. 11. 2006 |accessdate = 13. 11. 2006}}</ref> ali ga je porazio [[Steny Hoyer]].<ref>{{cite news
