Damian Patrick George Hinds^[2] (born 27 November 1969) is a British politician serving as Minister of State for Schools since November 2023.^[3] He previously served as Secretary of State for Education under Theresa May from 2018 to 2019 and has held junior ministerial positions under four Prime Ministers. A member of the Conservative Party, he has been Member of Parliament (MP) for East Hampshire since 2010.

Hinds was educated at St Ambrose College and Trinity College, Oxford. He was elected for East Hampshire at the 2010 general election.

Hinds was appointed Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury by David Cameron in 2015. He was moved to the post of Minister of State for Employment in 2016 after Theresa May’s appointment as prime minister. In May’s 2018 cabinet reshuffle he was promoted to Secretary of State for Education. He lost this position following Boris Johnson's appointment as prime minister in 2019. He returned to government in 2021 as Minister of State for Security and Borders. He returned to the backbenches on 7 July 2022, resigning in protest to Johnson’s leadership. He was appointed Minister of State for Prisons, Parole and Probation by new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in October 2022, before becoming Schools Minister in November 2023.
