}}John Astor (26 September 1923 – 27 December 1987) was an English Conservative politician. John was the third son of John Jacob Astor V (1886–1971)[1] and Violet Mary Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound (1889–1965). He had two elder brothers, Gavin (1918–1984) and Hugh (1920–1999). Violet also had two children, Mary (1910–2003) and George (1912–1997), from her first marriage to Lord Charles Petty-Fitzmaurice (1874–1914).[2]

He was educated at Summerfields and Eton College. During World War II he served in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve. He was a Berkshire County Councillor from 1953 and an alderman from 1960.[1]

Astor was elected as the MP for Newbury in the 1964 general election and was re-elected twice, in 1966 and 1970 but stood down before the first February 1974 general election.[1] In 1970 he was appointed to the position of Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Minister of Overseas Development.[2][3]

In 1950, he married Diana Kathleen Drummond (11 April 1926 – 1982),[1] daughter of George Henry Drummond and Helena Kathleen Holt. Helena was a niece of civil engineer Herbert Samuel Holt.[4] They had three children, two sons and a daughter.[1]

In 1982, he married Penelope Eve Bradford. They had no children.[1] Penelope died on 31 December 2006.[5]

He lived at Kirby House, Inkpen, Berkshire.[1]
