Broxtowe is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2010 by Anna Soubry of the Conservative Party.

Broxtowe constituency is a suburban constituency located in Nottinghamshire, to the west of the city of Nottingham, almost identical in character to the seat of Gedling to the east of Nottingham. The constituency's name is derived from the old Broxtowe wapentake of Nottinghamshire, which covered a larger area.

The most recent two election results suggest it is a marginal seat between the Labour and the Conservative parties.
