A.F.X. Baron

Anthony Francis Xavier Baron (4 October 1913 – 1974) was a British far-right political figure in the 1940s and 1950s who founded and headed the English branch of the Nationalist Information Bureau (NATINFORM).

Baron was a supporter of Arnold Leese and attempted, with other Leese supporters in 1948, to establish a new group called the National Workers Party, with Baron as nominal leader.

Baron has been described as "a stocky man..., with the features of a professional boxer." (Tauber, 1967, p. 244)
