South Northamptonshire was a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1832-1950, then 1918-1974. It elected two Members of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election from 1832, until the representation was reduced to one member in 1885. It was abolished in 1918 to form the new constituency of Daventry, recreated in 1950 after the abolition of Daventry and in 1974 was re-altered to Daventry again.
South Northamptonshire has been recreated by the Boundary Commission for England to be fought at the 2009 or 2010 UK general election. It takes most of its electoral wards from the existing Daventry seat.

The electoral wards used in the creation of this new seat are as follows. Alternative names were considered for this seat, but despite the clumsy juxtaposition of compass point names, the Commission chose to keep the title which it shares with the local district of the same name.
