Leominster was a parliamentary constituency represented until 1707 in the House of Commons of England, then until 1801 in that of Great Britain, and finally until 2010, when it disappeared in boundary changes, in the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

Under the Reform Act 1867 its representation was reduced to one Member, elected by the first past the post system.
