Rother Valley is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 1983 by Kevin Barron, a member of the Labour Party.

This constituency was created by the Representation of the People Act 1918. Unusually in the light of the events of the Labour Party's early 20th-century years, the seat has been represented by a member of that party continuously since the seat was formed. The size of the majorities never having been marginal in the elections to date, this has been a safe seat for the party.

Rother Valley constituency covers an area in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham south of Rotherham itself. It is bordered by the constituencies of Bassetlaw, Bolsover, Derbyshire North East, Don Valley, Rotherham, Sheffield South East, and Wentworth and Dearne.
