Adrian Philip Ramsay (born August 1981)[1] is a British politician who has served as co-leader of the Green Party of England and Wales since 2021 and as the Member of Parliament for Waveney Valley since 2024. He was previously the deputy leader of the Green Party of England and Wales from 2008 to 2012. He served as a Norwich City Councillor from 2003 to 2011. He worked as chief executive of the Centre for Alternative Technology from 2014 to 2019[2] and from 2019 to 2024 was CEO of MCS Charitable Foundation.[3][4]

Ramsay was the successful Green parliamentary candidate for Waveney Valley at the 2024 general election and became the first Green MP for a seat in the East of England.[5] This marked the first time that both Green Party co-leaders were elected to Parliament, and he also became the first ever male MP for a Green party in the UK.[6]
