Truro and Falmouth is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since its 2010 creation by Sarah Newton, a Conservative.

The constituency was created for the 2010 general election, following a review of parliamentary representation in Cornwall by the Boundary Commission, which has increased the number of seats in the county from five to six. It replaces parts of the former Truro and St Austell and Falmouth and Camborne seats.

The result was a very marginal one in 2010, with the previous results in either predecessor seat also closely fought between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives.

The District of Carrick wards of Arwenack, Boscawen, Boslowick, Carland, Feock and Kea, Kenwyn and Chacewater, Moresk, Mylor, Newlyn and Goonhavern, Penryn, Penwerris, Perranporth, Probus, Roseland, St Agnes, Tregolls, Trehaverne and Gloweth, and Trescobeas.
