Sir Neville Guthrie Trotter (born 27 January 1932) is a retired British Conservative politician.
Trotter was elected as MP for Tynemouth at the February 1974 general election until he retired at the 1997 election. Although his majorities were not huge, he successfully held on to Tynemouth, never being defeated at the polls. In 1992, the year after the Meadow Well Riots in the constituency, his majority was only a few hundred votes. After his retirement, Tynemouth was won by Labour's Alan Campbell.
Trotter is recalled locally principally as a godsend for would-be satirists and vandals as a few strokes of the pen could reduce his name to "Evil Rotter".[citation needed]
In April 2004, Trotter was installed as High Sheriff of Tyne & Wear[citation needed].
