Dennis Wardlow (born c. 1954) was a former Mayor of Key West, Florida, having served on three separate occasions.
He is best known, however, as the "Prime Minister" of the Conch Republic, the micronation that "seceded" from the United States on April 23, 1982, in protest over a United States Border Patrol blockade which severely damaged the tourism economy of the Florida Keys.
