East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow was a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which was first used in the general election of 2005. It replaced East Kilbride and some of Clydesdale, and it elected one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was subject to boundary changes which included the loss of Lesmahagow. As a consequence, the relevant seat was renamed East Kilbride and Strathaven, first contested at the 2024 general election.[1]
