Robert Edward Jenrick (born 9 January 1982) is a British politician who served as Minister of State for Immigration from 2022 to 2023. He previously served as Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government from 2019 to 2021 and as Minister of State for Health from September to October 2022. A member of the Conservative Party, Jenrick has been Member of Parliament (MP) for Newark since 2014.

Born in Wolverhampton, Jenrick attended St John's College, Cambridge, where he read history, followed by the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied political science. He then studied law and qualified as a solicitor. He was elected for Newark in a 2014 by-election following the resignation of Conservative MP Patrick Mercer after a cash-for-lobbying scandal.

From 2015 to 2018, Jenrick was Parliamentary Private Secretary to Esther McVey (Employment Minister), Michael Gove and Liz Truss (Justice Secretaries), and Amber Rudd (Home Secretary). He served as Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury under Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond from 2018 to 2019. Jenrick was appointed Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government by Boris Johnson in July 2019, a position he held until September 2021.

Jenrick returned to government under Truss in September 2022 as Minister of State for Health and was appointed to a cabinet attending role as Minister of State for Immigration after the appointment of Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister the following month. On 6 December 2023, Jenrick resigned from his position as Minister of State for Immigration over "strong disagreements" with the government's Rwanda asylum plan, arguing that it did not go far enough to tackle illegal immigration.
