Keighley and Ilkley /ˈkθli/ is a constituency in West Yorkshire[n 1] created in 1885 represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament[n 2] since 2019 by Robbie Moore of the Conservative Party.

Although the constituency had contained the town of Ilkley since 1983, it was formally known as Keighley until the 2024 general election. Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, there were no changes to the constituency boundaries, but the Boundary Commission for England recommended that it be renamed Keighley and Ilkley.[2][3]
