Saul Isaac (1823 – late 1903)[1] was an English businessman and Conservative Party politician. He was the first Jew to be elected to the House of Commons as a Conservative candidate.[2]
Isaac was a partner in the army contracting business run by his older brother Samuel (1812–1886),[3] which became the largest European supplier of materials to the Confederate States during the American Civil War.[3]
He was elected at the 1874 general election as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Nottingham,[4] when the Conservatives took both the city's parliamentary seats from the Liberals.[5] The election return describes him as a colliery proprietor, of Colwick Hall, Nottinghamshire.[4]
Isaac was defeated at the 1880 general election,[5] and was unsuccessful when he contested Finsbury Central at the 1885 general election.[6]
