Tessa Jowell (born 17 September 1947 in London) is a British politician. She is the Labour MP for Dulwich and West Norwood, and since 28 June 2007 has been Paymaster General and Minister for London.

She is also Minister for the Olympics, a role which she initially combined with being Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport following the selection of London to host the 2012 Olympic Games. She was demoted following Gordon Brown's accession to the premiership in June 2007, losing her department, much of her ministerial brief, and her right to automatically sit in the Cabinet.
