Dean Aaron Godson, Baron Godson (born 26 August 1962)[1] is the Director of the London-based right wing think tank Policy Exchange.

In 2016, the Evening Standard named Godson one of London's most influential people, saying: "Fiercely bright Godson, formerly chief leader writer at the Daily Telegraph, has been described as Britain's acknowledged expert on the problem of social cohesion."[2] Commentator Iain Dale also named Godson as one of the 100 most influential people on the right of British politics, in his annual rankings in 2016,[3] 2017[4] and 2018.[5] Dale also described Policy Exchange, in a February 2020 article, as "the pre-eminent think tank in the Westminster village".[6]
