Seema Misra is a former subpostmaster and a campaigner for justice for victims of the British Post Office scandal. She ran the post office in the village of West Byfleet in Surrey from 2005 until 2008, when she was suspended and then wrongly prosecuted for shortfalls caused by the Post Office faulty accounting software, Horizon. In 2010, after being convicted of theft and false accounting, she was sent to prison when she was eight weeks pregnant. She was one of the 555 litigants in the successful group legal action of Bates & Others v Post Office Ltd. Her criminal conviction was overturned in April 2021. She was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2024 New Year Honours for services to justice.
