Patricia Feldman Richardson is a British politician, most notable as the British National Party’s first ethnically Jewish candidate, though she does not practice Judaism. She grew up in Stoke Newington; her father came from Romania while her mother was born in London's East End, of Lithuanian descent. Both sets of grandparents arrived in England pre 1900.

She won a council seat in Epping Forest and is a councillor for the Loughton Fairmead ward by a narrow majority of 13, both in Essex. Her husband, also a BNP candidate, won the nearby ward of Loughton Broadway.

Richardson says the party, which although frequantly claimed to be racist and xenophobic, is not anti-Semitic. In the 2008 local elections, she was elected in the Loughton Broadway ward, covering part of the Debden council estate, with a majority of 123 over Labour. Her old Fairmead seat was lost heavily to the Loughton Residents Association.
