Neil Carmichael, Baron Carmichael of Kelvingrove

Neil George Carmichael, Baron Carmichael of Kelvingrove (October 10, 1921 – July 19, 2001) was a British politician. He was a Labour Member of Parliament in Glasgow from 1962 to 1983.

Carmichael was the son of James Carmichael MP. He was educated at Estbank Academy and the Royal College of Science and Technology, Glasgow. He was an engineer and a councillor on Glasgow Town Council.

Carmichael represented Glasgow Woodside from a by-election in 1962 to February 1974, then Glasgow Kelvingrove. For the 1983 general election his constituency was abolished and merged with Glasgow Hillhead which had been won in a by-election by Roy Jenkins for the SDP. The two incumbent MPs fought each other, with Jenkins winning; shortly afterwards, Carmichael was awarded a Life peerage as Baron Carmichael of Kelvingrove, of Camlachie in the District of Glasgow.
