Derek Fowlds (born 2 September 1937 in Balham, London) is an English actor.
Derek Fowlds had appeared in minor British films before he became familiar to British television viewers as "Mr Derek" in the children's series The Basil Brush Show (replacing Rodney Bewes as presenter of the show). Probably his most famous role, however, was that of Bernard Woolley in Yes Minister and its sequel, Yes, Prime Minister, alongside Paul Eddington and Nigel Hawthorne.
More recently, he has played Oscar Blaketon in the long-running ITV police drama series Heartbeat. Fowlds is still appearing in the role, although the character has retired from the police force and turned publican. Prior to this he played the lead role in the sitcom Affairs of the Heart.
He was previously married to the actress Adrienne Corri.
