North Essex was a parliamentary constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom between 1997 and 2010. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.
A previous constituency called Essex Northern, electing two members, existed from 1832 until 1868, when it was divided into two new constituencies: East Essex and West Essex.

Following boundary changes by the Boundary Commission for England, parts of the two former constituencies of Harwich and Essex North were combined to create the new constituency of Harwich and North Essex.
The North Essex constituency was created in 1997 mostly replacing the former seat of Colchester North.
