Sir Albert Edward Patrick Duffy (17 June 1920 – 2 January 2026) was a British economist and Labour Party politician. He was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Colne Valley from the 1963 Colne Valley by-election until his defeat in 1966, and for Sheffield Attercliffe from the 1970 general election until his retirement in 1992. Duffy was also a Minister of the Navy in the 1970s, and president of the NATO Assembly in the 1980s. Following the death of Ronald Atkins on 30 December 2020, Duffy became Britain's oldest surviving former MP. On 4 January 2025, he overtook Atkins's lifespan and became the longest-lived MP in British history.
