Oldham was a parliamentary constituency centred on the town of Oldham, in the historic county of Lancashire and the modern region of North West England. It returned two Members of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The constituency was created by the Great Reform Act of 1832 and was abolished before the 1950 general election when it was split into the Oldham East and Oldham West consituencies.

The Oldham constituency was perhaps most notable for being where Winston Churchill began his political career. Although taking two attempts to succeed, in the 1900 general election Churchill was elected as the member of Parliament for Oldham. He held the constituency for the Conservative Party until he defected from them in defence of free trade in 1904. He then represented the Liberal Party as MP for the seat until the 1906 general election.
