Peter Benjamin Mandelson, Baron Mandelson, (born 21 October 1953) is a British former Labour Party politician, lobbyist and diplomat. He was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Hartlepool from 1992 to 2004 and served in Tony Blair and Gordon Brown's cabinets as Minister without portfolio, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Business Secretary and First Secretary of State. He was the British Ambassador to the United States in 2025 under Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

In September 2025 a scandal emerged concerning Mandelson's association with the convicted child sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein, which had been revealed in 2019. Following reports that Mandelson had continued his friendship with Epstein after his 2008 conviction, he was dismissed as ambassador by Starmer. In February 2026, there were further reports that Mandelson and his husband had received payments from Epstein, and that in 2009 and 2010, Mandelson allegedly passed sensitive government information to Epstein. Mandelson resigned from the Labour Party and from the House of Lords, and the Metropolitan Police began a criminal investigation into alleged misconduct in a public office.
