Sir Thomas Dalyell of the Binns, 11th Baronet ( (listen) dee-EL; 9 August 1932 – 26 January 2017), known as Tam Dalyell, was a Scottish Labour Party politician who was a member of the House of Commons from 1962 to 2005.
He represented West Lothian from 1962 to 1983, then Linlithgow from 1983 to 2005.
