Berwickshire was a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1708 to 1918, when it was amalgamated with neighbouring Haddington(shire) to form a new Berwick and Haddington constituency. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP), using the first-past-the-post voting system.
After accepting office as Comptroller of the Household, Edward Marjoribanks was returned unopposed at a by-election on 14 February 1886.
