Pontypridd (/ˌpɒntɪˈpriːð/ PON-tih-PREEDH)[2] is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2019 by Alex Davies-Jones of the Labour Party.

In Pontypridd township itself the wards are: Town, Treforest, Rhondda (consisting of Hopkinstown, Maesycoed, Pantygraigwen, Trehafod, & Pwllgwaun), Graig, Trallwng, Rhydyfelin Central & Ilan, & Hawthorn.

[4] Alternatively, one can think of the constituency as being divided between a 'suburban' district in the south and communities that grew in the industrial revolution to the north; the Southern area, particularly between Church Village and Llantrisant, contains much new residential and light industrial development, and benefits from good transport links due to its proximity to the M4.

[7] The constituency remained unchanged from this form until the Third Periodic Parliamentary Boundary Review's proposals were implemented in 1983.

The Fifth Periodic Parliamentary Boundary Review for Wales placed the Cilfynydd and Glyncoch wards in the Cynon Valley (UK Parliament constituency)[9] and the Creigiau and Pentyrch wards in the Cardiff West (UK Parliament constituency).
