Daniel Nicholas Mosley, 4th Baron Ravensdale (born 10 October 1982) is a British hereditary peer and crossbench member of the House of Lords.

On 28 February 2017 he succeeded his grandfather, the novelist Nicholas Mosley (who did not use the titles) in the baronetcy and as Baron Ravensdale, a peerage created for his great-great-grandfather George Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston.[1]

One of Ravensdale's great-grandfathers was Sir Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Union of Fascists. Max Mosley, former president of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) is a half-brother of his grandfather.

Ravensdale became a member of the House of Lords in March 2019, after winning a crossbench hereditary peers' by-election.[2] He is the youngest hereditary peer in the house[citation needed] and was youngest overall until a peerage was given a few months later to Theresa May’s special advisor Stephen Parkinson.[3][failed verification][citation needed]
