Baron Paul Myners (born 1 April 1948) was Financial Services Secretary - or City Minister - in the UK Treasury department until May 2010. He was made a minister and peer by former Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown in October 2008.

Robert Peston of the BBC says of Myners:

If there is such a thing as a Brownite establishment class, Myners would be one of its elders.[1]
