Plymouth, Moor View is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.

This is one of two new seats, the other being Plymouth Sutton and Devonport.[2] The seat is largely the successor to the former Plymouth Devonport constituency.
