Gordon was a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (Westminster), which elected one member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election. The constituency was first contested at the 1983 UK general election; and underwent boundary changes throughout its existence.

The constituency was represented by Colin Clark of the Scottish Conservatives, who gained the seat from former Scottish First Minister and former Scottish National Party leader Alex Salmond at the 2017 snap election- which overall saw the best Conservative Party result in Scotland for 34 years; with 13 MPs returned. The SNP regained the seat in the 2019 general election with Richard Thomson serving as MP.

As part of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was subject to boundary changes, losing the parts in the Aberdeen City council area, partly offset by the addition of part of the abolished constituency of Banff and Buchan. As a consequence, it was renamed Gordon and Buchan, which was first contested at the 2024 general election.^[2]
