Feltham is a former United Kingdom Parliamentary constituency. It returned one Member of Parliament, using the first past the post electoral system from the United Kingdom general election, 1955 until the constituency was abolished in 1974.

Boundaries

The Urban District of Feltham, and the Municipal Borough of Heston and Isleworth wards of Cranford and Hounslow Heath.

The constituency was named after Feltham, a town in the west of the historic county of Middlesex. It was located to the south and east of Heathrow Airport. In 1965 the area became part of Greater London and the London Borough of Hounslow.

Before 1955 Feltham, Hanworth and Bedfont had been part of the Spelthorne constituency and the remainder been part of the Heston and Isleworth constituency.

In the 1974 redistribution, this constituency disappeared. There had been changes to local government boundaries since 1955. The area became part of the new Feltham and Heston constituency, which also included Heston and part of Hounslow to the east of the old seat.
