Dean Aaron Godson, Baron Godson (born 26 August 1962) is a British Conservative peer and the Director of the London-based right-wing think tank Policy Exchange.
In 2016, the Evening Standard named Godson one of London's most influential people, calling him an expert on social cohesion and praising the creation of the "integration hub" at Godson's think tank. Conservative political commentator Iain Dale also named Godson as one of the 100 most influential people on the right of British politics, in his annual rankings in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Dale also described Policy Exchange, in a February 2020 article, as "the pre-eminent think tank in the Westminster village".
