Carol Jane Thatcher (born 15 August 1953) is an English journalist, author, and media personality. She is the daughter of Margaret Thatcher, a former British Prime Minister, and Denis Thatcher. She has written biographies of both her parents and also produced a documentary about her father which contained his only public interview. She won the fifth series of the reality show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!.

Thatcher was born in Hammersmith, London, on 15 August 1953. She and her twin brother, Mark, were born six weeks prematurely by C-section. According to Margaret Thatcher, her husband Denis Thatcher responded to seeing their children for the first time by saying, "My God, they look like rabbits. Put them back." Thatcher's mother was selected for Finchley in 1958 and was elected as a Member of Parliament in 1959.

In 1960, Thatcher was sent to Queenswood School, a girls' boarding school near Hatfield, Hertfordshire, before attending St. Paul's Girls' School. She graduated with a law degree from University College London, before moving to Australia in 1977 to begin a journalism career. While she was there, her mother was elected Prime Minister. Thatcher later said, "You need quite good shock absorbers and a sense of humour to be the Prime Minister's child."
