Kingston upon Hull North was a borough constituency for the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) at least once every five years by the first-past-the-post electoral system.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was abolished. Subject to boundary changes including the addition of the community of Cottingham, as a consequence, it was replaced by Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham, first contested in the 2024 general election.[3]
