North Lonsdale was a parliamentary constituency in north Lancashire. It returned one Member of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The constituency was created under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, when the two-seat North Lancashire constituency replaced divided by a number of single-seat divisions.
The North Lonsdale Rural District, which was created in 1894, nine years after the constituency was created, was at the time an exclave of Lancashire. The area is now in Cumbria.
