Nicholas Anthony Fletcher[2] (born 15 July 1972)[3] is a British Conservative Party politician who was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Don Valley from the 2019 general election until 2024.

[9] Fletcher is a landlord, and he owns six houses and four flats in South Yorkshire; this is the highest number of residential, letting properties held by any MP.

[11][12][13] His apparent opposition to women playing these roles was criticised by fellow MPs (including Luke Pollard), and also condemned by social media users as sexist and misogynistic.

[14] In his defence, Fletcher claims this part of his speech was dealing with the wider issue of positive role-models for young men and that the controversy results from looking only at a short section.

In June 2022, Fletcher sent letters to all schools in his constituency urging head teachers to "push back" against the "transgender lifestyle", arguing that allowing children to take hormone blockers is "affirming something that is nothing more than a phase".

[20] Following an interim report on the connections between colonialism and properties now in the care of the National Trust, including links with historic slavery, Fletcher was among the signatories of a letter to the Telegraph in November 2020 from the "Common Sense Group" of Conservative Parliamentarians.

He ran the London Marathon in October 2021, raising over £2,000 by eliciting donations to his chosen charity, the Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Group.
