Pendle was a constituency[n 1] in Lancashire represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament.[n 2] The constituency was newly created for the 1983 general election, being largely formed from the former Nelson and Colne constituency.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was abolished. Subject to boundary changes - expanding it into the Borough of Ribble Valley, including the town of Clitheroe - it will be reformed as Pendle and Clitheroe, which was first contested at the 2024 general election.[3]
