Mark Julian Francis Pawsey (born 16 January 1957) is an English Conservative Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Rugby since the 2010 general election.
His father, Jim Pawsey, was Member of Parliament for Rugby from 1979 to 1983 and then for Rugby and Kenilworth from 1983 to 1997, when he lost the seat in the general election to Labour's Andy King.
Mark Pawsey grew up in Binley Woods, England, and was educated at Lawrence Sheriff School in Rugby. He later attended Reading University, where he earned a degree in estate management. In 1982, he founded a company with his brother, supplying products to the catering trade, which was later bought by an FTSE 100 company.
Pawsey was elected as a Councillor for the Conservative Party for Dunchurch and Knightlow on the Rugby Borough Council in 2002. He served on planning, borough development and housing panels and was portfolio holder and cabinet member for Housing.
Pawsey resigned from his position as a councillor upon selection in January 2007 for the new parliamentary constituency of Rugby and was a member of the A-List.
