Tiverton and Honiton was a constituency[n 1] in Devon, England. From its creation in 1997 until a 2022 by-election, the seat was represented by members of the Conservative Party. It was then held by Richard Foord of the Liberal Democrats until abolition.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was abolished, with the majority, including the towns of Axminster, Cullompton, Honiton and Seaton, being included in the new constituency of Honiton and Sidmouth, to be first contested at the 2024 general election. The town of Tiverton and surrounding rural areas will be included in the newly created cross-county boundary seat of Tiverton and Minehead.[2]
