Lord Banner (born 3 June 1980), is a lawyer, born to Edward Banner and Rachel Banner (née Macfarlane). He read classics (literae humaniores) at Lincoln College, Oxford, graduating in 2002. He then studied for the Postgraduate Diploma in Law at City, University of London, and graduated from King's College London in 2004 after studying EU law. He was called to the bar of England and Wales in 2004 and of Northern Ireland in 2010.

Nominated by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Banner now sits on the Conservative benches, where it was announced that Lord Banner would lead the review into national infrastructure projects to streamline their procedure and cut down legal challenges.
