South Holland and The Deepings is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since its 1997 creation by John Hayes, a Conservative.

1997-2010: The District of South Holland, and the District of South Kesteven wards of Deeping St James, Market and West Deeping, and Truesdale.

2010-present: The District of South Holland, and the District of South Kesteven wards of Deeping St James, and Market and West Deeping.

The constituency was created in 1997 from parts of the former seats of Holland with Boston and Stamford and Spalding. It covers the area around Spalding. It roughly corresponds to the South Holland local government district, with Market, and West Deeping added to it.

In minor boundary changes in place for the 2010 general election, parts of the two civil parishes, Baston, and Langtoft forming much of the Truesdale ward, moved to neighbouring Grantham and Stamford. This made Market Deeping and Deeping St James the only South Kesteven parishes to stay in the constituency, the remainder being in South Holland District.
