Frederick John Silvester (born 20 September 1933)[1] is a retired British Conservative Party politician.

Silvester contested the Walthamstow West parliamentary constituency in 1966; he was elected a Member of Parliament (MP) at the Walthamstow West by-election in 1967,[1] but lost the seat at the 1970 general election.[2] He was returned to Parliament at the February 1974 general election as MP for Manchester Withington,[3] and held that seat[4] but he was defeated at the 1987 general election by Labour's Keith Bradley.[5]

Silvester is a major character in the play This House which depicts the 1974-79 UK Parliaments.
