Peter Temple-Morris, Baron Temple-Morris (born February 12, 1938) is a British politician. He was elected as a Conservative Member of Parliament for Leominster in 1974.

Temple-Morris was suspended from the party in 1997 because he had "repeatedly and publicly questioned his continued commitment to the Conservative Party".[1] He then resigned from the party.

For the remainder of the Fifty-Second Parliament, he sat on the government Labour benches, but did not take the whip, instead sitting as a one-man 'Independent One-Nation Conservative' group. He stood down as an MP in the 2001 general election. He was made a Life peer in 2001 as Baron Temple-Morris, of Llandaff in the County of South Glamorgan and of Leominster in the County of Herefordshire. He sits in the House of Lords as a Labour peer.

His father, Owen Temple-Morris, was also a Conservative MP. His son Eddy Temple-Morris is a DJ, record producer and former MTV presenter.
