Anthony Edward Timpson, CBE KC (born 26 December 1973) is a British politician who served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Eddisbury in Cheshire from 2019 to 2024.

[2] Timpson was previously the MP for neighbouring Crewe and Nantwich, winning a 2008 by-election and retaining the seat until the 2017 general election when he lost to the Labour Party candidate, Laura Smith, by 48 votes.

[7] His mother, Alex Timpson, was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire in 2006 for services to Children and Families.

He was a pupil barrister at One Garden Court Chambers in London, and from 1999 until his first election to Parliament in 2008 practised family law in Chester.

[12][13] In July 2007, Timpson was selected as the Conservative candidate for the Crewe and Nantwich constituency,[14] an area which had been represented by the Labour MP Gwyneth Dunwoody since 1974.

[10] The Conservative campaign focused on local issues, such as crime and antisocial behaviour, closure of post offices and problems at Leighton Hospital, where two women in labour were turned away, as well as national issues – referring to Dunwoody as "Gordon Brown's candidate" and capitalising on dissatisfaction with the Labour government, in particular the removal of the 10% tax rate.

Timpson was named "Minister of the Year" in 2014 for pushing through reforms increasing the age of leaving foster care from 18 to 21, an initiative he had originally championed as a backbench committee chair.

He defeated Antoinette Sandbach (formerly a Conservative MP who was suspended from the party and then defected to the Liberal Democrats).

[2] Timpson was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2018 New Year Honours for public and parliamentary service.
