Michael Ray Dibdin Heseltine, Baron Heseltine, CH, PC (born 21 March 1933) is a British Conservative politician and businessman. After initially making money as a property developer, he was one of the founders of the publishing house Haymarket. He was a Member of Parliament from 1966 to 2001, and was a prominent figure in the governments of Margaret Thatcher and John Major including serving as Deputy Prime Minister under the latter.

Heseltine married Anne Harding Williams in 1962. They have three children: Annabel (born in 1963), Rupert (born in 1967) and Alexandra (born in 1966) and nine grandchildren. During the period Heseltine was the MP for Tavistock in Devon (from 1966 to 1974), Heseltine became part of a local 'fishing gang' with Ted Hughes. His wife was delighted, as an admirer of the poet, but Heseltine himself did not initially know who he was.

Heseltine acquired the nickname Tarzan during a Parliamentary vote regarding nationalizing the shipbuilding and aerospace industries in 1976. The Labour Party won the vote and broke into a song of celebration. This angered Heseltine who in turn took the ceremonial mace from the table in front of the speaker and brandished it at his political opponents.
