Khalid Mahmood (born 13 July 1961 in Kashmir, Pakistan) is a Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom. He has been Member of Parliament for Birmingham Perry Barr since the 2001 general election.

He is a graduate of UCE Birmingham and a former engineer with a trade union background. He was a Birmingham City Councillor from 1990-1993, resigning his seat after leaving the city to work in Kuwait Fact|date=May 2007.

His selection for the Perry Barr seat caused controversy; the outgoing MP, Jeff Rooker, was reported to have supported and slept with an alternative candidate, Sukhvinder Stubbs, while one of the constituency's ward associations passed a motion of no confidence in Mahmood. [http://icbirmingham.icnetwork.co.uk/0100news/0100localnews/archive/tm_method=full%26objectid=7571151%26siteid=50002-name_page.html] .

Though Khalid held the seat for Labour in 2001, his share of the vote fell by 16.5%, much of which went to the Liberal Democrat candidate Jon Hunt, who ran on an 'anti-sleaze' ticket to no avail. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/vote2001/results_constituencies/constituencies/059.stm] . Mahmood subsequently increased his share of the vote slightly at the 2005 election, though his majority fell by 805 votes.

Khalid rarely rebels against the labour party and voted in agreement with Tony Blair 93.1% of the time during the previous parliament [http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/mp.php?mpn=Tony_Blair&mpc=Sedgefield&display=allfriends] . He has voted strongly for the introduction of national ID cards, student top-up fees, labours anti-terrorism laws and he voted very strongly against investigating the iraq war [http://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/khalid_mahmood/birmingham%2C_perry_barr] .

He served as Parliamentary Private Secretary to Home Office Minister Tony McNulty from 10 November 2005 until 6 September 2006, when he resigned after signing a letter calling for Prime Minister Tony Blair to step down. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/5319328.stm] .
