Essex man is a stereotypical figure which was popularised in 1990s England. "Essex man" as a political figure is an example of a type of median voter and was used to help explain the electoral successes of Margaret Thatcher in the previous decade.

Working class families were encouraged to leave the war-damaged slums in inner London and move to newly-built council-owned properties in the suburbs and "new towns" in the home counties, including Basildon and Harlow in Essex.
