An MP (Member of Parliament) represents the interests of all the people in their constituency in the House of Commons. There are 650 MPs in total across the UK, and they are all elected at the same time at a general election.

The Cheltenham parliamentary constituency, which covers nearly all of the borough's wards, is represented by Alex Chalk of the Conservative Party. He was first elected in 2015, and re-elected in 2017 and 2019.

The Prestbury and Swindon Village wards are both within the Tewkesbury parliamentary constituency rather than Cheltenham. Tewkesbury is represented by Laurence Robertson of the Conservative Party, who was first elected in 1997, and re-elected in 2001, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2019.
