Newport West ({{Langx|cy|Gorllewin Casnewydd}}) was one of two parliamentary constituencies for the city of Newport, South Wales, in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) using the first-past-the-post voting system. Paul Flynn, of the Labour Party, was the MP from the 1987 general election until his death on 17 February 2019.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-politics-47274312|title=Veteran Labour MP Paul Flynn dies aged 84|date=2019-02-18|access-date=2019-02-18|language=en-GB}} Consequently, a by-election was held in the constituency on Thursday 4 April 2019 and Ruth Jones of the Labour Party was elected.

The constituency was abolished as part of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies and under the June 2023 final recommendations of the Boundary Commission for Wales for the 2024 United Kingdom general election. Its wards were split between the existing Newport East constituency and a new constituency named Newport West and Islwyn.{{Cite book |url=https://bcomm-wales.gov.uk/sites/bcomm/files/review/E02859434_Boundary%20Commission%20Wales%202023_English_Web%20Accessible_V03.pdf |title=2023 Review of Parliamentary Constituencies – The 2023 Review of Parliamentary Constituencies in Wales |date=28 June 2023 |publisher=Boundary Commission for Wales}}

Boundaries

{{maplink|raw={{Wikipedia:Map data/Newport West (UK Parliament constituency)}}|frame=yes|text=Map of boundaries 1983–2024}}

The constituency comprised the electoral divisions of Allt-yr-yn, Bettws, Caerleon, Gaer, Graig, Malpas, Marshfield, Pillgwenlly, Rogerstone, Shaftesbury, Stow Hill and Tredegar Park in the city of Newport. The western and northern boundaries were formed by the city boundary, the eastern boundary by the River Usk, and the southern boundary by the Bristol Channel.

History

Newport West was created when the former Newport constituency was split into two seats in 1983. The seat was won on a narrow three-figure majority by the Conservatives. However, Paul Flynn gained the seat for the Labour Party in 1987 and held it until his death in 2019.
