Khalid Mahmood (born 13 July 1961) is a British Labour Party politician who was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Birmingham Perry Barr from 2001 until 2024 when he lost his seat.

Mahmood's actions were condemned by Inayat Bunglawala from the Muslim Council of Britain, who said that "[after] Lord Ahmed refused, MacShane then found Mahmood—universally regarded as being not exactly the brightest spark in parliament—to be a more willing instrument for his scheme".

[7] He was re-elected as MP for Birmingham Perry Barr at the 2005 general election with an increased vote share of 47% and a decreased majority of 7,948.

[9] In May 2009, it was reported, as part of a series of leaked UK MPs expense details, that Mahmood claimed for £1,350 to stay in a five-star west London hotel with his girlfriend.

[25] After Keir Starmer in April 2020 became leader of the Labour Party, Mahmood was appointed as Shadow Minister for Defence Procurement.

[27] On 13 April 2021,[28] Mahmood resigned from the shadow frontbench, saying that his party had been taken over by "a London-based bourgeoisie, with the support of brigades of woke social media warriors".

[23] In January 2014, Mahmood underwent a kidney transplant at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Edgbaston, Birmingham, receiving an organ from a donor later revealed to be the Labour politician Siôn Simon.

[38] In August 2018, it was reported that Mahmood became involved in an employment tribunal over alleged religious discrimination brought about by his parliamentary assistant, Elaina Cohen, who is Jewish and with whom he was formerly in a 17-year relationship.

[40][41] In August 2022, Mahmood lost the claim against Cohen, with the court finding that she was unfairly dismissed and 'isolated' by her boss after raising concerns about alleged criminal actions by a colleague.
