Jamie Charles Cann (June 28, 1946–October 15, 2001) was a politician in the United Kingdom.
Ipswich's sardonic MP, Jamie Cann, who has died aged 55, was an enthusiastic supporter of aircraft carrier-based battle groups, "with the capacity to put a brigade ashore and keep it going for as long as necessary with all the air cover it requires".
Cann had led Ipswich Borough Council for 12 years and had been MP for Ipswich for six years, said Jonathan Ripman, in Cann's defence.
