Khalid Mahmood (born 1961) is a Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom. He has been Member of Parliament for Birmingham Perry Barr since the 2001 general election.

He is a graduate of UCE Birmingham and a former engineer with a trade union background. He was a Birmingham City Councillor from 1990-1993, resigning his seat after leaving the city to work in Kuwait.

His selection for the Perry Barr seat caused controversy; the outgoing MP, Jeff Rooker, was reported to have supported an alternative candidate, Sukhvinder Stubbs, while one of the constituency's ward associations passed a motion of no confidence in Mahmood [1].

Though Mahmood held the seat for Labour in 2001, his share of the vote fell by 16.5%, much of which went to the Liberal Democrat candidate Jon Hunt, who ran on an 'anti-sleaze' ticket[2]. Mahmood subsequently increased his share of the vote slightly at the 2005 election, though his majority fell by 805 votes.

He served as Parliamentary Private Secretary to Home Office Minister Tony McNulty from 10 November 2005 until 6 September 2006, when he resigned after signing a letter calling for Prime Minister Tony Blair to step down. [3].
