Edward David Gerard Llewellyn, Baron Llewellyn of Steep, OBE, PC (born 23 September 1965) is Her Majesty's Ambassador to France. He took up the post on 9 November 2016. Formerly a British political adviser, he was the Downing Street Chief of Staff under former Prime Minister David Cameron.

He attended Eton College at the same time as Cameron, though Llewellyn was two years above him. Llewellyn left Eton in 1983 and spent a brief amount of time working at Conservative Central Office, before studying at New College, Oxford, where he was steward (i.e. president) of the College JCR. New College contemporaries included Rageh Omaar, Steve Hilton and Ian Katz.

After leaving Oxford, he was employed as an aide to former Governor Chris Patten in Hong Kong, as Patten's 'Chef de Cabinet' following Patten's appointment as a European Commissioner, and then to the former Liberal Democrat Leader Paddy Ashdown in his role as High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
