Danny Dorling FRSA FRGS FRSS FAcSS (born 16 January 1968) is a British social geographer.

[7] Dorling graduated with a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Geography, Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Newcastle in 1989 and completed a PhD in the Visualization of Spatial Social Structure under the supervision of Stan Openshaw in 1991.

In September 2013 he became the Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography, attached to St Peter's College, Oxford.

[6][11] Dorling was very supportive of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Party leader during his leadership from September 2015 until April 2020.

In February 2006, Dorling's work in human geography was described as "rummaging around" in numbers, crunching his way through reams of raw data, building up an extraordinary picture of poverty and wealth in contemporary Britain.
