Sedgefield is a constituency in County Durham represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2019 by Paul Howell of the Conservative Party. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.

Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be subject to major boundary changes. Although the town of Sedgefield is retained, the constituency will be renamed Newton Aycliffe and Spennymoor to reflect the two largest communities in the revised seat. It will be first contested at the next general election.[3]
