List of MPs elected to the English parliament in 1625


This is a list of members of Parliament (MPs) elected to the first parliament in the reign of King Charles I in 1625, which was known as the Useless Parliament.

The first parliament began on 21 June 1625 and was held to 11 July 1625 when it adjourned to Oxford because of fear of plague in London. It then sat from 1 August 1625 to 12 August 1625 when it was dissolved. It gained its name because it transacted no significant business, but it was most 'useless' from the king's point of view.
