Eleanor Elizabeth Chowns (born 7 March 1975) is a British Green Party politician, serving as the Member of Parliament for North Herefordshire since 2024. Since September 2025, she has served as the group leader of the party in the House of Commons, and previously served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the West Midlands for the party from 2019 to 2020.
In 2025, Chowns ran for co-leader of the Green Party in a joint bid with incumbent co-leader Adrian Ramsay, losing to Zack Polanski. Despite her loss, she was subsequently chosen by her fellow Green MPs as the party's parliamentary leader. She was formerly a councillor on Herefordshire Council and leader of the council's Green group until stepping down following her election to parliament.
