Nazir Ahmed, Baron Ahmed (Urdu: نذیر احمد; born 24 April 1957), is a British former politician. As a member of the Labour Party, he was appointed a life peer in 1998.
Ahmed faced expulsion from the House of Lords in 2020 on account of sexually exploiting a woman who had approached him in 2017 in his capacity as a member of the House, and resigned from the House after a recommendation of its Conduct Committee that he be expelled, but before it was implemented. However, he continues to be a life peer, although not a member of the House.
On 5 January 2022 he was found guilty of historical sex offences, committed when he was a teenager, being the attempted rape of a child under 13 years of age and sexual assault of another.
He was sentenced to five years and six months in prison, reduced on appeal to two years and six months.
