Gordon (UK Parliament constituency)
Gordon is a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (Westminster), which elects one member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election. The constituency first returned a member in the 1983 general election, but has undergone boundary changes since that date.

The constituency has been represented since 12 December 2019 by Richard Thomson of the Scottish National Party.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be subject to boundary changes, losing the parts in the Aberdeen City council area, partly offset by the addition of part of the (to be abolished) constituency of Banff and Buchan. As a consequence, it will be renamed Gordon and Buchan, to be first contested at the next general election.
