Jennifer Nancy Willott (born 29 May 1974) is a British politician and the Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament for Cardiff Central since the 2005 general election.
The gain of the Cardiff Central constituency by the Liberal Democrats in the 2005 General Election appears to have been an example of voters becoming disillusioned with Labour policies and the war in Iraq, although outgoing Labour Co-operative MP Jon Owen Jones was opposed to the war himself.
In her maiden speech, Willott pledged to "make Cardiff proud" and celebrated the cultural diversity of her constituency.
