Baron Sainsbury

Baron Sainsbury is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

There have been three peers with the surname "Sainsbury"; all are from the Sainsbury family, namesake of the supermarket chain Sainsbury's.

The title "Baron Sainsbury" is not a hereditary peerage; it is in fact three life peerages awarded to members of the same family. The three Lord Sainsburys, in order of when they received their title, are: Alan Sainsbury, John Davan Sainsbury and David Sainsbury. The original Sainsbury's Supermarkets founder, John James Sainsbury, never officially received or held any Queen's honours.

The three Lord Sainsburys are:

• Alan Sainsbury, Baron Sainsbury, of Drury Lane in the Borough of Holborn (1902-1998)
• John Sainsbury, Baron Sainsbury of Preston Candover, of Preston Candover in the County of Hampshire (b. 1927) - Conservative Party (UK)
• David Sainsbury, Baron Sainsbury of Turville, of Turville in the County of Buckinghamshire (b. 1940) - Labour Party (UK)
