Zachary Wyatt (born October 7, 1984) is an American politician from the state of Missouri.
A Republican, Wyatt was a one-term member of the Missouri House of Representatives from the 2nd District, encompassing Adair county, Putnam county, and a part of Sullivan county.
In May 2012, Representative Wyatt became, at that time, the nation's only openly gay Republican legislator.
He "came out" during a press conference in the Missouri Capitol, while opposing the "Don't Say Gay" bill.
Due to Missouri House redistricting following the 2010 U.S.
Census the 2nd district will be divided into two newly numbered districts.
Representative Wyatt had originally filed to run for the 3rd district, which includes most of his former 2nd district territory.
However, in early April 2012 he announced his intention to withdraw once a suitable Republican replacement could be named.
Wyatt stated his withdraw was prompted by his acceptance into a marine biology program at the University of Hawaii, and his desire to take full advantage of his veterans education benefits.
In the November general election Republican Nate Walker defeated Democrat Rebecca McClanahan, Wyatt's opponent in 2010, to win the 3rd district seat and succeed Wyatt.
