Geoffrey Benedict Clifton-Brown (25 July 1899 – 17 November 1983)[1] was a Conservative Party politician in England.

He was schooled at Eton College, and during World War II, he fought with the 12th Lancers, attaining the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.[2]

He was elected at the 1945 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for Bury St Edmunds,[3] and held the seat until the 1950 general election.
