Theresa Mary May [təˈriːzə ˈmeəri meɪ], née Brasier le 1er octobre 1956 à Eastbourne , est une femme d'État britannique, chef du Parti conservateur et Première ministre du Royaume-Uni depuis juillet 2016.

Fille d'un vicaire anglican, elle travaille à la Banque d'Angleterre de 1977 à 1983, puis dans le secteur bancaire privé. Elle poursuit sa carrière professionnelle jusqu'à son élection comme députée de la circonscription de Maidenhead, sous les couleurs du Parti conservateur, en 1997. Exerçant différentes responsabilités dans le cabinet fantôme de l'opposition entre 1999 et 2010, elle devient une des figures de proue du Parti conservateur, qu'elle préside de 2002 à 2003.

Lors de la formation du gouvernement Cameron en 2010, Theresa May est nommée secrétaire d'État à l'Intérieur. À ce poste, elle mène une réforme de la police et adopte des politiques restrictives sur les drogues et l'immigration. Elle est également ministre des Femmes et des Égalités de 2010 à 2012, faisant valoir à ce portefeuille des positions politiques plus progressistes vis-à-vis, par exemple, du mariage homosexuel. Elle se définit comme une conservatrice one-nation, c’est-à-dire faisant partie de l'aile « pragmatique » du Parti conservateur.

Après le référendum sur l'appartenance du Royaume-Uni à l'Union européenne — lors duquel elle ne prend pas position — et la démission du Premier ministre David Cameron, elle est désignée chef du Parti conservateur, et devient la seconde femme Première ministre du pays après Margaret Thatcher. En 2017, elle provoque des élections générales, à l'issue desquelles le Parti conservateur demeure la première force politique du pays mais en perdant la majorité absolue à la Chambre des communes.

Alors qu’elle est chargée de diriger la procédure de retrait du Royaume-Uni de l'UE , elle mène des négociations qui conduisent en 2018 à deux crises politiques.
