Parlament Združenega kraljestva[a] je najvišji zakonodajni organ Združenega kraljestva, Kronskih odvisnosti in Britanskih čezmorskih ozemelj.[3][4] Ima zakonodajno prevlado in s tem vrhovno oblast nad vsemi drugimi političnimi organi v Veliki Britaniji in čezmorskih ozemljih. Parlament je dvodomni, vendar je sestavljen iz treh delov - monarh (Crown-in-Parlament), zgornji dom (House of Lords) in spodnji dom (House of Commons).[5][6] Oba doma parlamenta se sestajata v ločenih dvoranah v Westminstrski palači v Westminstru, v Londonu.
Zgornji dom (tudi dom lordov ali Lordska zbornica) je sestavljena iz dveh vrst članov: duhovni lordi (Lords Spiritual), to so višji škofi anglikanske cerkve, Lords Temporal, ki ga sestavljajo pretežno imenovani lordi (life peers), ki jih dosmrtno imenuje monarh[7] in 92 dednih članov (Hereditary peer), ki so ta naziv nasledili ali pa so si ga glede na dosežke sami pridobili.
Spodnji dom je sestavljen iz neposredno voljenih predstavnikov iz 650 angleških volilnih enot. Volitve potekajo v enomandatnih volilnih enotah na podlagi sistema relativne večine. Najdaljše možno obdobje trajanja enega mandata je pet let.[8]

22. Our remit requires us to accept "the primacy of the House of Commons". It is worth considering what this means in the context of legislation, and of the conventions operating between the two Houses. 23. Constitutional and Administrative Law by O. Hood Phillips and Jackson declares it to be a constitutional convention that "In cases of conflict the Lords should ultimately yield to the Commons."[34] It goes on to observe that this convention was backed until 1911 by the possibility of packing the Lords with government supporters, and has been underpinned since then by the Parliament Acts.
