Bridgend (Welsh: Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr) is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2019 by Jamie Wallis, a Conservative.[n 2]

The constituency is to retain its name but its boundaries altered, as part of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies and under the June 2023 final recommendations of the Boundary Commission for Wales for the 2024 United Kingdom general election.[3]
