Seamus Logan (born 4 January 1958) is a British politician who has served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Aberdeenshire North and Moray East since July 2024. Born in Northern Ireland, Logan became active in Scottish politics in 2022.

Seamus Logan was born on 4 January 1958 in Ballymoney, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, to Catholic parents. He was educated at St MacNissi's College, an all-boys Catholic school in the Glens of Antrim. He studied at the University of Stirling, Scotland, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree.

After university, he returned to Northern Ireland and entered a career in health and social care. He undertook a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree at Queen's University Belfast. From 1982 to 1988, he worked as a social worker specialising in mental health. From 1988 to 2008, he worked successively as a team leader, clinical services manager, and commissioner. From 2008 until he retired in 2013, he was a performance and service improvement regional director.

After Logan retired from his healthcare job in 2018, he considered fully retiring or becoming a coach driver, but ran in a councillor election. He was elected as a SNP councillor for Fraserburgh and District on Aberdeenshire Council in 2022. Logan resigned from this position on 30 August 2024.

On 5 July 2024 he was elected as a Member of the Parliament (MP) for the newly-formed constituency of Aberdeenshire North and Moray East, having received 13,455 votes (35.2%). On 17 July 2024, he made his maiden speech in the House of Commons in the debate following the King's Speech.
