This is a list of members of Parliament (MPs) who held seats at the end of the 58th Parliament of the United Kingdom and did not stand for re-election in the 2024 general election. A total of 132 Members of Parliament did not stand for re-election, including a record number of Conservative MPs. This includes MPs who were deselected by their party who subsequently chose not to seek nomination either in a different constituency, or with a different party.
Four MPs — Nadine Dorries, Nigel Adams, Chris Skidmore (all Conservative) and Chris Pincher (independent, elected as Conservative) — announced their intention not to stand again, but later resigned from Parliament before the election, and are not included in the figures below.
Five further MPs – Conservatives Andy Carter, Chris Clarkson, Kieran Mullan and Douglas Ross and Independent Julian Knight – initially announced their intention to stand down, before changing their minds. Carter stood in his existing constituency of Warrington South while the others stood in different constituencies. All except Mullan were subsequently defeated.
There were no vacant seats at the dissolution of the 2019–2024 Parliament. The deadline for nominations of candidates was at 16:00 BST on 7 June 2024.
