Jarrow was a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament from 2019 until its abolition for the 2024 general election by Kate Osborne of the Labour Party.[n 2]

The seat was created in the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885.[2] and abolished in the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies. With moderate boundary changes the constituency was replaced by the new Jarrow and Gateshead East, to be first contested in the 2024 general election.[3]
