Helen Lawrie Liddell, Baroness Liddell of Coatdyke PC (' Reilly'''; born 6 December 1950) is a British politician and life peer who served as Secretary of State for Scotland from 2001 to 2003 and British High Commissioner to Australia from 2005 to 2009.
She married Alistair Liddell in 1972; they have one son and one daughter.
She first contested the Parliamentary constituency of East Fife at the October 1974 general election.
Liddell worked as a BBC Scotland economics journalist from 1976 to 1977.
At the age of 26, she served as the first female General Secretary of the Scottish Labour Party from 1977 to 1988.
She was subsequently public affairs director of the Daily Record and Sunday Mail, working for media proprietor Robert Maxwell.

She was dubbed Minister for Monarch of the Glen after several visits to the set of the hit BBC series.
The disclosure that she was able to work French lessons into her ministerial diary, raised questions about the relevance of Scottish Secretary's job post-devolution.
The role was abolished as a full-time position in 2003, when the Scotland Office was rolled into the Department for Constitutional Affairs.
She took up appointment as British High Commissioner to Australia in the summer of 2005, and was succeeded in the role by Baroness Amos in October 2009.
