Salford is a borough constituency in Greater Manchester represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

The constituency was re-established for the 2024 general election and is represented by Rebecca Long-Bailey of the Labour Party until she was suspended and had the whip removed on 23 July 2024, as a result of voting to scrap the two child benefit cap.

Long-Bailey was MP for the predecessor seat of Salford and Eccles from 2015 to 2024.
