Andrew Simon Feldman, Baron Feldman of Elstree (born 25 February 1966) is a British barrister, businessman and Conservative fundraiser and politician.
The Financial Times described Feldman as "David Cameron's oldest political friend" since their days together at Brasenose College, Oxford. Feldman was responsible for fundraising David Cameron's successful Tory leadership campaign in 2005.
He was created a life peer by David Cameron in 2010, and then Chairman of the Conservative Party, first as Co-Chairman alongside Sayeeda Warsi and then Grant Shapps between 2010 and 2015, then on his own as sole Chairman from May 2015. His tenure ended after David Cameron's administration ended in July 2016.
He was born into a Jewish family in London, the eldest son of Malcolm R Feldman (b. 1939) and his wife Marcia J, née Summers (b. 1938). His paternal grandmother was of Austrian descent.
He married Gabrielle Gourgey in 1999; they have two sons and one daughter. They live in a townhouse in Holland Park, just round the corner from David Cameron's pre-Downing Street family home in Notting Hill."
Feldman was educated at The Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School, an independent school in Elstree in Hertfordshire, followed by Brasenose College at the University of Oxford, where he was awarded a first-class degree in Jurisprudence. He went on to the Inns of Court School of Law.
