Raminder Singh Ranger, Baron Ranger (born 3 July 1947), is a British-Indian businessman and Conservative Party politician. He is the founder of Sun Mark, a multinational consumer-goods company, and has been a member of the House of Lords since 2019.
Born in Gujranwala, Punjab, just before the partition of India, Ranger was raised by his widowed mother in Patiala. He moved to the United Kingdom in 1971, and founded the shipping company Sea, Air and Land Forwarding in 1987, followed by Sun Mark in 1995. Ranger is a donor to the Conservative Party and served as a co-chairman of Conservative Friends of India. He was nominated for a life peerage in Theresa May's resignation honours.
In 2023, the House of Lords commissioner for standards found that Ranger bullied and harassed a journalist following a Diwali event in Parliament. After further revelations of derogatory comments about Pakistanis and Sikhs, Ranger's CBE appointment was revoked by the Honours Forfeiture Committee in 2024.
