Holborn and St Pancras (/həʊbɜːn ænd sənt 'pænkɹəs/; /ənd/) is a constituency created in 1983, represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom since 2015 by Keir Starmer of the Labour Party.

The seat of Holborn and St Pancras as drawn in 2010 is composed of all but a small western portion of the London Borough of Camden and extends from most of Covent Garden and Bloomsbury in the heart of the West End of London through other areas of NW1, north and in elevation terms upwards through trendy and economically diverse Camden Town to the affluent suburb of Highgate in a long strip. Gospel Oak, particularly towards Kentish Town, has high deprivation levels, but neighbouring Highgate ward in the seat drawn has low deprivation levels.

Kings Cross, St Pancras International and Euston railway termini are in the seat.

During the 20th century the Bloomsbury, Holborn and Covent Garden and Highgate wards overwhelmingly elected Conservatives councillors. Since 2000 the wards forming the seat in its three revised forms have all swung against the party. The 2014-2018 local government results produced one Green Party councillor, for the Highgate ward in the seat, and the remaining 32 forming the seat (as redrawn in 2010) are members of the Labour Party.

The seat has been won since 1983 by the Labour Party candidate. The majorities achieved have been varied between a relatively marginal 13.9% in 2005 (making it a lowest 150 seat for the party in that year by percentage of majority) to a landslide 47.1% in 1997. The 2015 result ranked the seat the 77th safest of the party's 232 seats (by majority percentage).
