Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney (Welsh: Merthyr Tudful a Rhymni) was a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament.[n 2] It was established for the 1983 general election.
The constituency was abolished as part of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies and under the June 2023 final recommendations of the Boundary Commission for Wales for the 2024 United Kingdom general election. Its wards were split between Blaenau Gwent and Rhymney, and Merthyr Tydfil and Aberdare.[3]
