The ceremonial county of Cambridgeshire (which includes the area of the Peterborough unitary authority) is divided into seven parliamentary constituencies. There are two borough constituencies and five county constituencies, which each elect one Member of Parliament to represent it in the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

The 2007 report of the Boundary Commission for England retained the same seven constituencies that had existed since the 1997 election, with minor boundary changes to align with current local government wards and to better equalise the electorates. These changes were implemented at the United Kingdom general election, 2010.
The total number of votes cast for each political party or individual candidate who fielded candidates in constituencies within Cambridgeshire in the 2010 general election were as follows;
Cambridge has been continuously represented in Parliament since 1295. The remainder of the county was represented by Cambridgeshire from 1290 to 1885, returning two members prior to 1832 and three members from 1832 to 1885. The county was divided in 1885 between the single member divisions of Chesterton, Newmarket and Wisbech. Cambridgeshire was recreated as a single member constituency in 1918 but did not cover the administrative county of Isle of Ely, which was now represented by the Isle of Ely constituency. Both Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely were abolished in 1983, and replaced with North East Cambridgeshire, South East Cambridgeshire and South West Cambridgeshire. The latter was abolished in 1997 to form the new constituency of South Cambridgeshire.
