Laurence Paul Fox (born 1978) is an English actor and right-wing political activist, who played the supporting role of DS James Hathaway in the British TV drama series Lewis from 2006 to 2015.

A grandson of the actors Robin and Angela Fox, and a graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Fox first appeared in The Hole (2001) and thereafter in numerous films, television features, and theatre productions. He is also a singer-songwriter and guitarist; his debut album, Holding Patterns, was released in February 2016.

Fox gained political recognition for his opposition to the George Floyd protests, and during the COVID-19 pandemic for his strong views against vaccination.

He gained 1.9% of the vote, losing his deposit.
