Islington North /ˈɪzlɪŋtən nɔːθ/ is a constituency created in 1885 represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 1983 by Jeremy Corbyn of the Labour Party. Corbyn has been Leader of the Labour Party and the Opposition since September 2015.

The constituency has at each election since a 1937 by-election elected the Labour Party candidate. The narrowest winner's majority over the runner up in this time excluding the by-election itself was in a by-election in 1969: 10.4% of the vote which showed the seat on a very low turnout to be marginal in majority on its then boundaries, with its contemporary demography and prevailing political context at the time, during the final year of the Second Wilson Ministry.

By contrast the continuous victor since 1983, Jeremy Corbyn, has attained a smallest majority of 15.3% in 1983 and maximum majority of 55.6% in 1997. In four elections during Corbyn's tenure the runner up party has been the Liberal Democrats. The 2015 result made the seat the 26th safest of Labour's 232 seats by percentage of majority.

If the 2016 recommendations of the Boundary Commission for England and Wales are approved by Parliament, the constituency will be abolished at the 2020 general election.
