Wyre and Preston North is a county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Created in the most recent fifth periodic review of constituencies by the Boundary Commission for England, it elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post voting system.

It was formed from parts of the Ribble Valley, Fylde, and Lancaster and Wyre constituencies.

The seat is due to be abolished for the next general election.[2][3]

The current MP is Ben Wallace of the Conservative Party, former Secretary of State for Defence. On 15 July 2023, Wallace announced that he intended to step down as Defence Secretary at the next Cabinet reshuffle, and that he would not be seeking re-election as an MP at the next general election.[4]
