Bath is a constituency in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, represented since 2017 by Wera Hobhouse of the Liberal Democrats. Its previous representatives have included William Pitt the Elder (Prime Minister 1766–1768) and Chris Patten, the last Governor of Hong Kong (1992–1997).
In the 2023 periodic review of Westminster constituencies, at the 2024 general election the seat was subject to moderate boundary changes which involved the gain of the Bathavon North ward from the former North East Somerset constituency.
