Felicia Nicolette Gavron (née Coates, 24 November 1941 – 30 August 2024) was a British politician who was deputy mayor of London under Ken Livingstone from 2000 to 2003 and 2004 to 2008.

[1] Gavron was born in Worcester on 24 November 1941,[2][3] the daughter of a German Jew who had fled from Nazi Germany in 1936.

In March 2008, she claimed that her mother had been chosen to dance before Hitler in the opening ceremony of the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, until the authorities discovered that she was Jewish.

In an interview with The Guardian she said, "It was in the days when everyone thought road widening was the answer, but the penny dropped for me that it was part of the problem.

Gavron stood for the Barnet and Camden London Assembly seat in the 2008 GLA elections against the Conservative incumbent, Brian Coleman.

She was a member of the Mayor's Advisory Cabinet, holding the portfolio for spatial development and strategic planning.

[12] In 2006, Business Week Magazine cited her, along with Ken Livingstone, as one of the 20 most important people in the world in the battle against greenhouse gas emissions.
