Weston-super-Mare is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament by Daniel Aldridge from the Labour Party since 2024. Before then it was held since 2005 by John Penrose, a Conservative.[n 2]

Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be subject to moderate boundary changes which will involve the loss of rural areas in the east which will move into the new constituency of Wells and Mendip Hills to be first contested at the 2024 general election.[2]
