Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson (født 19. juni 1964 i New York af engelske forældre), bedre kendt som Boris Johnson, er en britisk politiker fra Det konservative parti, der fra den 24. juli 2019 til den 6. september 2022 var premierminister i Storbritannien. Han er tilmed tidligere formand for Det konservative parti (2019-22), tidligere borgmester i London (2008–2016) samt udenrigsminister (2016–2018). Han er medlem af Underhuset.

Efter en række skandaler (herunder partygate) og intern uro i Det konservative parti valgte Boris Johnson at trække sig fra posten som formand for partiet den 7. juli 2022. Han oplyste ved sin fratræden, at han ville fortsætte som premierminister, indtil en afløser var blevet fundet. Han blev afløst af partifællen Liz Truss den 6. september 2022.

Johnson er uddannet i klassiske studier fra Oxford Universitet. Han arbejdede derefter som journalist og har tidligere været redaktør for The Spectator. Han er kendt for sin excentriske offentlige person, blev medlem af parlamentet i Storbritannien for Henley og var i en periode officiel oppositionstalsmand (front-bench spokesman) som skyggeminister for højere uddannelse (Shadow Minister for Higher Education), indtil han annoncerede sine intentioner om at blive Londons borgmester i 2008.

Marina Claire Wheeler (born 5 December 1964) is a British lawyer and writer. As a barrister, she specialises in public law, including human rights, and is a member of the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal. She was appointed Queen's Counsel in 2016.

She is the author of The Lost Homestead: My Mother, Partition and the Punjab (2020). She was the second wife of former British prime minister Boris Johnson, to whom she was married from 1993 until their divorce in 2020.

Caroline Louise Beavan Johnson (née Symonds; born 17 March 1988) is an English media consultant, a senior advisor to the ocean conservation charity Oceana, and a patron of the Conservative Animal Welfare Foundation. She is married to politician Boris Johnson, who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party from 2019 to 2022.

Born to Matthew Symonds, co-founder of The Independent, and Josephine McAfee, a lawyer, Symonds was raised by her mother in southwest London. Educated at Godolphin and Latymer School and the University of Warwick, she earned a degree in Art History and Theatre Studies. She began working as a press officer for the Conservative Party in 2009 and rose to become the party's head of communications in 2018. In the same year, she began an affair with Johnson, then serving as Foreign Secretary, during his marriage to his second wife, Marina Wheeler. Later that year, Symonds left her role with the Conservative Party for a public relations job at Oceana. Johnson and Wheeler separated in September 2018, and Johnson was later reported to be living with Symonds at her flat in southeast London. In July 2019, after Johnson became Prime Minister, she moved with him to the flat above 11 Downing Street, making her the first unmarried partner of a Prime Minister to officially reside in Downing Street.

In February 2020, shortly after Johnson agreed a divorce settlement with Wheeler, Symonds announced that she and Johnson had become engaged in late 2019 and that she was pregnant. She gave birth to their first child in April 2020. In January 2021, she began working in a senior communications role at the Aspinall Foundation, a wildlife charity. She and Johnson married in May 2021 at Westminster Cathedral, and subsequently had three more children together.
