The General Secretary of the Labour Party is the most senior employee of the British Labour Party, and acts as the non-voting secretary to the National Executive Committee. When there is a vacancy the National Executive Committee selects a provisional replacement, subject to approval at the subsequent party conference.

The post is currently held by David Evans, following Jennie Formby's resignation on 4 May 2020.[1] He was formally confirmed in his role by a card vote at the 2021 Labour Conference on 25th September 2021.[2]
