Trevor Myke Walker is a Barbudan politician, current member of parliament for Barbuda, and former Cabinet Minister under the Baldwin Spencer administration. He is a member of the Barbuda People's Movement, a party that seeks the independence of Barbuda from Antigua and Barbuda.

Walker was elected to the Barbuda Council in 2001, marking his political debut. After being elected to the House of Representatives three years later, he was given the position of Minister of State in responsible for Barbuda Affairs. After that, in 2009, Walker was named minister of works and transport, where he was in charge of building Antigua's largest supermarket, the Epicurean Supermarket. Walker later lost his position in parliament following the 2014 loss of the United Progressive Party.

Walker later made a return to parliament following the 2018 snap election that followed Hurricane Irma and produced a significant victory for the Barbuda People's Movement. Since then, Walker has served as a front-bencher for the opposition in parliament. He also serves as vice chair of the Barbuda Council and chair of the finance committee. Walker's handling of the Barbuda Land Act and Barbuda's 2020 secession request has drawn harsh criticism from the Labour Party, particularly from Gaston Browne and Steadroy Benjamin. Walker's endorsement of the creation of a twin-island federation in Antigua and Barbuda has also drawn strong condemnation from the Labour Party.
