Warner Troyer (1932 - 15 September 1991) was a Canadian broadcast journalist and writer.

He was featured on the 1960s CBC Television current affairs program "This Hour Has Seven Days". In 1975, Troyer co-hosted the first season of "the fifth estate" with Adrienne Clarkson, also on CBC. He was also involved in the production of CBWT's "Eye-To-Eye" program in the beginning.

His 1980 book "200 Days: Joe Clark in Power" (ISBN 0-920510-05-1) is an examination of the short-lived Progressive Conservative administration of Prime Minister Joe Clark, which was a 1979 minority government, defeated in a motion of non-confidence late that year.

He also wrote a book on the history of Canadian radio and television broadcasting, "The Sound & the Fury: An Anecdotal History of Canadian Broadcasting" (ISBN 0-471-99872-9). In his later years he focused on environmental issues, writing a book about mercury poisoning in Northern Ontario waters, "No Safe Place" (ISBN 0-772-01117-6), and "Preserving Our World: A Consumer's Guide to the Brundtland Report" (ISBN 0-969453-80-9).

Troyer contracted lung cancer and died in Toronto aged 59.
