Salisbury is a county constituency centred on the city of Salisbury in Wiltshire. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, by the first past the post voting system.

From 1295, the parliamentary borough to Salisbury returned two MPs to the Parliament of England, and then to its successor bodies: the Parliament of Great Britain from 1707, and the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801. Under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, Salisbury's representation was reduced to one member.
