Perran Henry Rupert Moon (born 2 April 1970) is a British Labour Party politician who has served as the MP for Camborne and Redruth since July 2024.
Moon was born in Redruth; his father, Charles, was a GP and long-time club doctor at Redruth Rugby Football Club. His mother was a nurse at Treliske Hospital. One of seven children, Moon attended Trewirgie School and then St Erbyn's school in Penzance.
Prior to parliament, Moon worked in communications for Nissan and Renault. From 2004, he was marketing director at Manheim UK and then at Auto Trader. Until 2024, he was the chief marketing officer and interim CEO of Believ, an electric vehicle charging business.
An advocate of the switch from petrol and diesel vehicles to electric, on World EV Day 2024 he said: "World EV day is a crucial date in our calendar as it spotlights perhaps the single largest solution to cleaner air and reduced carbon emissions – electric vehicles".
From 2019 to May 2023, Moon was a Labour & Co-operative Party district councillor for Banbury Grimsbury & Hightown ward at Cherwell District Council in Oxfordshire.
In the 2024 general election, Moon stood in the Camborne and Redruth constituency in Cornwall. Moon won the seat, and became the constituency's first ever Labour MP. He said in a speech after the results were announced that the election had established a "new Cornish red wall" after Labour won four of the six seats in Cornwall. He was one of six Cornish MPs who, in 2024, took their parliamentary affirmations in the Cornish language.
In September 2024, Moon was named as a member of the Great British Energy Bill Committee, which was tasked with bringing the new legislation before parliament. Moon is currently an officer for five All-Party Parliamentary Groups and chair of the Electric Vehicle APPG.
In March 2025, Moon was referred to the police under accusations of campaign over spending. The Labour Party stated it was confident Moon had under spent on his campaign.
