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 was first contested at the 1983 UK general election; but has undergone boundary changes since then.

The constituency has been represented since 2019 by Richard Thomson of the Scottish National Party.

Previously, the constituency was represented by Colin Clark of the Scottish Conservatives, who gained the seat from former Scottish First Minister and former SNP leader Alex Salmond at the 2017 snap election- which overall saw the best Conservative Party result in Scotland for 34 years; with 13 MPs returned.

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 2024 general election.^[2]
