Jeffrey William Titford (24 October 1933 – 9 September 2024) was a British politician who served as leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) from 2000 until 2002.

Titford narrowly won the ensuing leadership election, promising to reunite the party and restore its effectiveness as a campaigning organisation.

The Guardian newspaper described him in 2001 as "an emollient man, a sort of Willie Whitelaw figure, and an ideal leader for such a fractious party".

[1] He led UKIP into the 2001 general election, in which it stood more than 420 candidates but failed to make any breakthroughs (although it did consolidate its position as the largest of the smaller parties).

Titford stepped down as party leader in October 2002, in order to allow his successor time to plan his strategy for the 2004 European elections.
