Suffolk Coastal is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2010 by Therese Coffey, a Conservative.

This East Anglian constituency was created in 1983.

This seat was held from its creation until the 2010 election by the Conservative John Gummer who had previously represented the former seat of Eye from 1979. The current MP is the Conservative Therese Coffey.

Lord Deben (as John Gummer) was the Secretary of State for the Environment for four years during the Second Major ministry and before that was for four years the Minister of State for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. He was the only member for this seat to have achieved the front bench, until Therese Coffey was made Deputy Leader of the House of Commons in May 2015.
