Mark Christopher Field (born 6 October 1964, Hanover, Germany), is a British politician, author and solicitor.
Since the 2001 general election, Field has represented the Cities of London and Westminster constituency as a Conservative Party Member of Parliament (MP). In July 2015, he was appointed Vice Chairman (International) of the Conservative Party by prime minister David Cameron, a role that he retains under Theresa May.
Born at the British Military Hospital in Hanover, Germany, his father (Peter, died 1991) was a Major in the British Army and his mother (Ulrike, née Peipe, died 2010) was of German origin. Field was educated at state-funded grammar school, Reading School and St Edmund Hall, Oxford where he graduated with a B.A. degree in Jurisprudence in 1987. He was Secretary and National Political Officer of the Oxford University Conservative Association in 1985–86; JCR President of St Edmund Hall, Oxford in 1986; he was also News Editor of student newspaper Cherwell while it was under the editorships of Christina Lamb and Anne McElvoy. During his student days, Field also set up a publishing firm after spotting a gap in the market for careers handbooks in the legal profession. He completed his education at The College of Law at Chester, qualifying as a solicitor in 1990.
