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.[1]
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.
