Andrew Francis Slaughter (born 29 September 1960) is a British Labour Party politician who was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Hammersmith in 2010.
He had previously been MP for Ealing, Acton and Shepherd's Bush from 2005 to 2010 and before that, Leader of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham Council.

At the 2005 general election, Slaughter was elected as the member of parliament for Ealing, Acton and Shepherd's Bush in London, retaining the seat for Labour following the retirement of his predecessor, Clive Soley.
