Salford is a borough constituency in Greater Manchester represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election. The borough constituency dated from 1997 and was abolished in 2010, replaced by Salford and Eccles.

A parliamentary borough of the same name existed from 1832 to 1885. The historic constituency returned two MPs from 1868.[1]

Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be re-established for the 2024 general election, formed primarily from the (to be abolished) constituency of Salford and Eccles.[2]
