John Edward Hugh Rees, FRICS (8 January 1928 – 1 December 2003) was a British chartered auctioneer and surveyor, and politician.
At the 1959 general election, Rees won the Swansea West constituency as a Conservative, gaining the seat from Labour by a majority of 403 votes.
Loyal to the government, Rees nevertheless stood up for Swansea against the prospect of Port Talbot steelworks taking all of South Wales' investment; he also defended his constituents who had their homes on a leasehold tenure.
In 1972 he was given a spot on the United Kingdom delegation to the European Community's Economic and Social Committee, on which he served until 1978.
At his death, his successor Alan Williams (who subsequently became Father of the House of Commons) paid tribute to him for continuing to fight his ground in Swansea rather than find a better seat elsewhere.
