Aldridge-Brownhills /ˈɔːldrɪdʒ braʊnhɪlz/ is a constituency in the West Midlands, represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament by Wendy Morton of the Conservative Party.

A Labour Party MP served the constituency from its formation in February 1974 until 1979, when it was won by the Conservative who was to serve as its representative for thirty-six years. Richard Shepherd kept his seat at his party's landslide defeat of 1997 which saw Labour claim many of the Conservative safe seats. In 2014, Richard Shepherd announced he would not stand for election in the United Kingdom general election in 2015. Wendy Morton was selected to run for the seat and secured it with a safe majority.
