Jeremy Paul Wright PC QC MP (born 24 October 1972) is an English Conservative Party politician and the current Member of Parliament (MP) for the constituency of Kenilworth and Southam in Warwickshire. From 2005 to 2010 he served as MP for Rugby and Kenilworth, which constituency was abolished in boundary changes before the 2010 general election.

In the 2014 Cabinet reshuffle, David Cameron appointed Wright as Attorney-General for England and Wales and ex-officio Advocate General for Northern Ireland.

Born at Taunton, Somerset, his parents were both teachers and he has one brother who served as a Commander in the Royal Navy. Wright was educated at Taunton School and Trinity School, New York City, before going to the University of Exeter, where he graduated a bachelor of Laws.

He was called to the Bar at the Inner Temple in 1996 and specialised in criminal law in the Midlands until his election to Parliament in 2005. He remains a member of No.5 Chambers in Birmingham but is officially listed as non-practising as of May 2013.
