Amy Gallagher is a British mental health nurse working in the National Health Service and a psychotherapist.[1]

In 2022 she sued the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust for what she called "forcing racist ideology" on students in 2022, in reference to critical race theory.[2][3]

Gallagher was the Social Democratic Party candidate for mayor in the 2024 London mayoral election.[4] She received 1.39% of the vote, finishing seventh of the thirteen candidates.[5] She said she stood in the election to "push back on woke ideology".[6][4] While campaigning, she described the planned black out performance of the upcoming West End Slave Play as "simplistic and racist".[7]
