John Golding (9 March 1931 – 20 January 1999) was a Labour Party politician and trade union leader in the United Kingdom.
He was an outspoken opponent of Labour left-wingers such as Tony Benn and Eric Heffer, whom he regarded as idle dreamers out of touch with the working-class.
Golding was a key figure in opposing the entryist Militant tendency, and especially in mobilising moderate trade union leaders to exercise their block votes to achieve this end.
In 1986, he left Parliament (by applying for the Chiltern Hundreds) to take up the post of General Secretary of the National Communications Union.
John Golding's most unusual claim to fame is that he once made a speech in committee lasting eleven hours and fifteen minutes.
