John Procter (born 7 November 1966[2]) is a British politician.

Born in Leeds,[2] Procter joined the Conservative Party. In 1992, he was elected to Leeds City Council, representing Wetherby ward until he was de-selected by party members in September 2017 and replaced by Wetherby Town Mayor, Norma Harrington. [3]. Procter served on Leeds City Council for 26 years, latterly as Deputy Leader of the Conservative Group, during which time he also ran a facilities management company called Strategic Facilities Management Ltd. [4] .[5]

Procter was third on the party's list for Yorkshire and the Humber at the European Parliament election, 2014. Although only the top candidate, Timothy Kirkhope, was elected, Kirkhope was appointed to the House of Lords in 2016. The party decided to appoint Procter as his replacement, rather than Alex Story, who had been second on the party list.[6][7]
