David Neil Macfarlane, known as Neil Macfarlane, (born 7 May 1936) is a British Conservative Party politician.
Macfarlane was elected Member of Parliament for Sutton and Cheam in February 1974, regaining the seat from the Liberal Graham Tope who had won the seat in a by-election two years earlier. Macfarlane held some ministerial posts, including Education and Science and the Arts (1979-1981), and the Environment and Sport (1981-1985).
Macfarlane stood down from Parliament in 1992, and was succeeded by Lady Olga Maitland. He wrote, with Michael Herd, a memoir of his time as sports minister, Sport and Politics: a world divided (Willow, 1986).
