Conwy was an electoral constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) by the single-member district plurality (also known as first-past-the-post) system of voting.
The constituency was created for the 1950 general election, and abolished for the 2010 general election.
It was a marginal between the Conservative Party and the Labour Party throughout its existence.
The Conwy Welsh Assembly constituency was created with the same boundaries as the Conwy House of Commons constituency in 1999.
The constituency was, geographically, relatively small for its region, as it followed and tended to keep to the coast, taking in parts of two separate densely populated coastal conurbations.
