Edinburgh East and Musselburgh (UK Parliament constituency)

Edinburgh East and Musselburgh is a burgh constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (at Westminster). It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.

In its present form, the constituency was established as part of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies and under the final recommendations of the Boundary Commission for Scotland, replacing Edinburgh East. It has been held by Labour politician Chris Murray since the 2024 United Kingdom general election.

The constituency had previously existed from 1997 to 2005. In 1999, a Scottish Parliament constituency was created with the same name and boundaries and was used until 2011. See headnote above.

Boundaries
The constituency covers an eastern portion of the City of Edinburgh council area and most of the Musselburgh ward of the East Lothian council area. It is one of six constituencies covering the City of Edinburgh area, and one of two covering the East Lothian area. The constituency is predominantly urban.

When the original constituency was abolished for the 2005 general election, most of it was merged into the new Edinburgh East constituency. The rest of it, the Musselburgh area, was merged into the East Lothian constituency.
