Timothy Carson Crakanthorp is an Australian politician. He has been a Labor member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly since 25 October 2014, when he was elected in a by-election to the seat of Newcastle.[3] When he was elected he was a serving member of Newcastle City Council.[4]

Crakanthorp was the Minister for Skills, TAFE and Tertiary Education, and the Minister for the Hunter in the NSW Minns ministry[5] before stepping down amid allegations of breaching the Ministerial Code of Conduct. Crakanthorp allegedly failed to disclose significant family land holdings in the Hunter and a potential conflict of interest between his public duties and private interests.[6]
