Sudbury was a parliamentary constituency which was represented in the British House of Commons. A parliamentary borough consisting of the town of Sudbury in Suffolk, it returned two Members of Parliament (MPs) from 1559 until it was disenfranchised for corruption in 1844. The Sudbury election of 1835, which Charles Dickens reported for the "Morning Chronicle", is thought by many experts to be the inspiration for the famous Eatanswill election in his novel "Pickwick Papers".
A county constituency of the same name was established by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 for the 1885 general election, electing one MP by the first past the post voting system. It was abolished for the 1950 general election.
