Annunziata Rees-Mogg, (born 25 March 1979) is a journalist and Conservative politician in the United Kingdom.

Born in Bath, she is the youngest daughter of Lord Rees-Mogg, the former editor of The Times newspaper. Her career has included editing the European Journal, a stint as deputy editor of MoneyWeek, and currently she is a leader writer for The Daily Telegraph.

She was named on the Conservative Party "A-List" of candidates, and in late 2006 was selected as the candidate for the marginal constituency of Somerton and Frome. Previously, during the 2005 election she was the Conservative Party candidate in the safe Labour seat of Aberavon in South Wales. She increased the Conservative vote by a third, although still finished 4th in what is a heavily Labour supporting constituency.

Her brother is the investment banker, Jacob Rees-Mogg, who is the Conservative candidate for North East Somerset which neighbours Somerset and Frome.
