"'''Piggate'''" refers to a claim that, during his time at [[Oxford University]], the former [[British Prime Minister|British prime minister]] [[David Cameron]] inserted his penis and/or scrotum into a dead pig's mouth as part of an [[hazing|initiation ceremony]] for the [[Piers Gaveston Society]].
 
The anecdote was reported by [[Michael Ashcroft]] and [[Isabel Oakeshott]] in their [[unauthorised biography]] of Cameron, ''[[Call Me Dave]]'', attributing the story to an anonymous Member of Parliament who was allegedly a contemporary of Cameron's at the University of Oxford. Extracts from the book were published in the ''[[Daily Mail]]'' on 20 September 2015, prior to its publication.
