Blackley and Broughton (Blayk-lee and Brore-tun) /ˈblkli ænd brɔːtən/ was a constituency[n 1] in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament. It was represented through its entire existence by Graham Stringer. He was first elected in 1997 for the former Manchester Blackley and prior to this was Leader of Manchester City Council. The constituency covered north Manchester and east Salford.[n 2]

Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was subject to major boundary changes, including the loss of its two City of Salford wards (Broughton) and the addition of two Borough of Rochdale wards (Middleton South). Accordingly, the seat was renamed Blackley and Middleton South, a constituency which was first contested at the 2024 general election.[3][4]
