Humfrey Jonathon Malins CBE (born 31 July 1945, Nuneaton, Warwickshire) is a British Conservative Party politician, who was Member of Parliament (MP) for Croydon North West and later Woking.
Malins was educated at St John's School, Leatherhead and Brasenose College, Oxford, gaining a MA in Jurisprudence in 1967. He qualified as a solicitor in 1971 and worked in a major Surrey law firm from 1975 to 1988. From 1973 to 1983, Malins was a member of Mole Valley District Council.
He contested Liverpool Toxteth in both 1974 general elections and Lewisham East in the 1979 general election.
In the 1983 general election he was elected MP for Croydon North West, beating by-election victor Bill Pitt. He spent most of his time on the backbenches, but was Parliamentary Private Secretary to Timothy Renton from 1987 to 1989 and then Virginia Bottomley from 1989 to 1992.
