List of parliamentary constituencies in Surrey

The county of Surrey is divided into 11 parliamentary constituencies (sub-classified into four of borough type and seven of county status affecting the level of expenses permitted and status of returning officer). The county saw the vast bulk of its population and seats removed on the creation of the County of London in 1889 and its wider replacement the county of Greater London in 1965. Reflecting its mainly suburban and rural nature, all seats covering the present definition of Surrey have been held by Conservative MPs at each general election since 1885, with the exception of two Liberals in 1906 and 1 Liberal Democrat in 2001.

2010 boundary changes
Under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided to retain the existing 11 constituencies in Surrey, with only very minor changes to four of them.

Proposed boundary changes
See 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies for further details.

Following the abandonment of the Sixth Periodic Review (the 2018 review), the Boundary Commission for England formally launched the 2023 Review on 5 January 2021. Initial proposals were published on 8 June 2021 and, following two periods of public consultation, revised proposals were published on 8 November 2022. The final proposals were published on 28 June 2023.

The commission has proposed that Surrey be combined with Berkshire and Hampshire as a sub-region of the South East Region. As a result, the majority of the abolished constituency of South West Surrey would be combined with parts of the current constituency of East Hampshire to form a new cross-county boundary constituency named Farnham and Bordon. The remainder of South West Surrey would be combined with parts of Guildford, Mole Valley and Surrey Heath to form the new constituency of Godalming and Ash. The communities of Englefield Green and Virginia Water in the borough of Runnymede would be included in the Berkshire constituency of Windsor. Following changes to Mole Valley, it is proposed that this constituency is renamed Dorking and Horley.

The following constituencies are proposed:

 * Esher and Walton
 * Runnymede and Weybridge (part)
