Honiton and Sidmouth is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament. It was first contested at the 2024 general election. The current MP is Richard Foord, a Liberal Democrat who was first elected for the now abolished seat of Tiverton and Honiton at a by-election in 2022. He defeated Simon Jupp, who had been the Conservative MP for the now-abolished seat East Devon from 2019 to 2024.
