The following is a list of past and present Members of Parliament (MPs) of the House of Representatives, the lower house of the Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago. Today there are 41 MPs and each of them represent single member constituencies across the country under the first-past-the-post. 96% of the population live on the island of Trinidad, and they have 39 MPs while Tobago has 2.
Trinidad and Tobago is a unitary parliamentary republic which gained independence on 31 August 1962 after over 160 years under British rule. Due to the influence of the British Empire, the parliament is based on the Westminster system. The two largest parties historically have been the dominant People's National Movement (PNM) and the United National Congress (UNC) which has mainly formed the opposition.
The diversity of the country has been a factor in Parliament over time with Afro–Trinidadians and Tobagonians, Indo–Trinidadians and Tobagonians and European-Trinidadians and Tobagonians. In terms of religious diversity, the country's different faiths have also been represented in Parliament. In terms of gender, female representation has been an issue. In the 2020-2025 session, women in the Parliament accounted for 31% of members.
The most recent election was held on 28 April 2025.
