Larry Sanders (born in New York) is an Oxfordshire County Councillor. He has lived in Oxford since 1969. He was trained professionally as a social worker and lawyer. He is an employee and trustee of the Oxfordshire Carers' Forum and Oxfordshire Community Care Rights since 1996.
His main focuses in politics are social and health care services. Elected in 2005, he became the Green Party councillor group leader in the Oxfordshire County Council. He resigned from the board of the Oxfordshire Mental Healthcare NHS Trust in October 2005 amid concerns that proposed cuts to services will leave vulnerable patients at greater risk.
