Huntingdonshire is a former United Kingdom Parliamentary constituency. It was a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of England then of the Parliament of Great Britain from 1707 to 1800 and of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1885. It was represented by two Knights of the Shire. It was divided between the constituencies of Huntingdon and Ramsey in 1885.
In 1918, Huntingdon and Ramsey were re-united and the constituency was reconstituted, returning a single Member of Parliament. After minor boundary changes in 1983, it became the constituency of Huntingdon. Its MP at the time, John Major, continued to represent it.
