Mid Derbyshire is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since its 2010 creation by Pauline Latham, a Conservative.[n 2]
The constituency covers a large area to the north and east of Derby. Residents are slightly wealthier than the UK average.[2]
Following their review of parliamentary representation, the Boundary Commission for England created this seat for the 2010 general election. Neighbouring constituencies had consequential boundary changes, with Erewash and Amber Valley the most affected.
The constituency is made up of the following electoral wards:
Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, enacted by the Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023, the composition of the constituency from the next general election, due by January 2025, will be expanded by the addition of the South West Parishes ward in the borough of Amber Valley, transferred from Derbyshire Dales.[3]

Note: This constituency was a notional hold in 2010, as it would likely have been won by the Conservatives in 2005 had it existed then. This is despite the fact all of the wards were actually within constituencies that Labour held in 2005.
