Paul Andrew Daisley (July 20, 1957-June 18, 2003) was an English politician. When he died he was Labour member of Parliament for Brent East.
He succeeded Ken Livingstone as Labour's candidate for the seat, after Livingstone was expelled for the party and decided to step down at the 2001 election in order to concentrate on his duties as Mayor of London. His campaign had Livingstone's backing.
Daisley had previously been leader of Brent Council. He died from cancer. At the subsequent by-election, the safe Labour seat was lost to LibDem Sarah Teather.
