Morpeth was a borough constituency centred on the town of Morpeth in Northumberland represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of England until 1707, the Parliament of Great Britain from 1707 to 1800, and then the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

Morpeth elected two Members of Parliament (MPs) until the 1832 general election, when the Great Reform Act reduced its representation to one MP, elected under the first past the post system. The constituency was abolished for the 1983 general election.
