Berwick-upon-Tweed (UK Parliament constituency)

Berwick-upon-Tweed was a constituency of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first-past-the-post system. The constituency covered the area around the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed in Northumberland, England.

Historically, the constituency existed from 1553 until 1885, then from 1918 until 2024.

The constituency's boundaries were subject to periodic reviews and changes, generally reflecting population shifts within Northumberland. The constituency traditionally covered a significant portion of north Northumberland.

In 2024, the Berwick-upon-Tweed constituency was abolished as part of a wider review of parliamentary constituencies, and its area was divided between the new constituencies of North Northumberland and Blyth and Ashington. The final MP for Berwick-upon-Tweed was Anne-Marie Trevelyan of the Conservative Party.
