Lancaster and Fleetwood will be a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It will elect one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.

Following their review of parliamentary representation in Lancashire, the Boundary Commission for England created a new constituency in Wyre and Preston North. This splits the current link of Lancaster and Wyre. As a consequence, Lancaster and the coastal town of Fleetwood have been attached for future parliamentary purposes.
