Northampton North is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2010 by Michael Ellis, a Conservative.

1983-2010: The Borough of Northampton wards of Abington, Boughton Green, Dallington and Kings Heath, Headlands, Kingsthorpe, Links, Lumbertubs, Park, St Alban, St George, Thorplands, and Welford.
2010-present: The Borough of Northampton wards of Abington, Boughton Green, Eastfield, Headlands, Kingsley, Kingsthorpe, Lumbertubs, Parklands, St David, and Thorplands.
The constituency has income, social housing and unemployment statistics close to the national average and a varied and dynamic service and engineering-centred economy typical of the East Midlands with significant foodstuffs, clothing and consumables manufacturing and processing operations.
