East Yorkshire was a county constituency for the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, established for 1997 general election. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) at least once every five years by the first-past-the-post electoral system. The constituency represented northern part of the East Riding of Yorkshire county.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was abolished and replaced primarily (with moderate boundary changes) by the new Bridlington and The Wolds constituency since 2024 general election.[3]
