Foyle is a constituency in Northern Ireland covering Derry, represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament.

Prior to the 2010 general election the transfer of Claudy and Banagher wards to East Londonderry were approved through the passing of the Northern Ireland Parliamentary Constituencies Order[2] in 2008.

Hume retained the seat until his retirement at the 2005 general election, when he was succeeded by the SDLP's Mark Durkan.

He succeeded Elisha McCallion of Sinn Féin to regain the seat which the SDLP had held from its 1983 creation until 2017.

The constituency was previously represented by John Hume, former leader of the SDLP and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.
