Durgapur (Lok Sabha constituency) was one of the 543 parliamentary constituencies in India. The constituency centred on Durgapur in West Bengal. The seat was reserved for scheduled castes.

As a consequence of the order of the Delimitation Commission in respect of the delimitation of constituencies in the West Bengal, this parliamentary constituency ceased to exist from 2009; some of the assembly segments under this constituency will be part of a new Bardhaman-Durgapur (Lok Sabha constituency), others will be part of Bishnupur (Lok Sabha constituency).
