Parliamentary constituencies in Herefordshire and Worcestershire
{{Short description|None}}
{{Use British English|date=September 2013}}
There are 8 Parliamentary constituencies in the ceremonial counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire. From 1974 to 1998 the two counties were administratively and ceremonially one, called Hereford and Worcester, and the constituencies crossed the traditional county boundaries. This continued to be the case up to and including the 2005 general election, but since the 2010 general election two constituencies fall entirely within Herefordshire and six within Worcestershire. There is one borough constituency in Worcestershire; the remaining are county constituencies.

For the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which redrew the constituency map ahead of the 2024 United Kingdom general election, the Boundary Commission for England opted to retain the two constituencies in Herefordshire, with minor boundary changes to reflect changes to ward boundaries. In Worcestershire, it proposed a small transfer from Mid Worcestershire (renamed Droitwich and Evesham) to Redditch to bring these two constituencies within the statutory range; the other four constituencies were unchanged.{{Cite web |title=The 2023 Review of Parliamentary Constituency Boundaries in England – Volume one: Report {{!}} Boundary Commission for England |url=https://boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/2023-review/2023-review-volume-one-report/ |access-date=2023-07-11 |website=boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk |at=paras 1251-1257 & 1325-1333}}

Under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided to retain 8 constituencies covering the counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire for the 2010 election, making minor changes to take account of the separation of the two counties, to realign constituency boundaries with the boundaries of current local government wards, and to reduce the electoral disparity between constituencies. The constituencies of Hereford and Leominster were renamed Hereford and South Herefordshire, and North Herefordshire respectively.
