Sheffield Heeley is a constituency{{#tag:ref|A borough constituency (for the purposes of election expenses and type of returning officer)|group= n}} in the city of Sheffield that was created in 1950. The seat has been represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament by Louise Haigh of the Labour Party since 2015.{{#tag:ref|As with all constituencies, the constituency elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election at least every five years.|group= n}} Haigh served as Secretary of State for Transport under the government of Keir Starmer until she resigned on 28 November 2024, after it was revealed she had pleaded guilty to fraud in 2013.
History
This seat was created in 1950, largely replacing the former Sheffield Ecclesall constituency, its boundaries being significantly altered in 1955 with the abolition of Sheffield Neepsend. At its first five elections, up to but excluding 1966, the seat was won by a Conservative, Peter Roberts; it changed hands three times between 1966 and 1974.
In more recent elections Sheffield Heeley moved from being a marginal Labour seat to having a solid Labour majority. Of the subsequent elections, only the 1983 and 2010 results have been fairly marginal; the others have suggested a safe Labour seat. At the 2010 election the Liberal Democrat had more than a quarter of the vote, whereas the Conservatives, on 17.3%, garnered 3% more votes than in 2005.{{#tag:ref|The 8th different candidate, one for each election, since 1979.|group= n}}
