The 5th constituency of the Nord is a French legislative constituency in the Nord département.

Description

Nord's 5th constituency lies in the centre of the department to the south of Lille. The main town is Seclin which is still part of the Urban Community of Lille Métropole but this left leaning town is outweighed by the more conservative surrounding areas.

Despite 40 years of uninterrupted Socialist Party control between 1962 and 2002 the seat has now been held by the conservative UMP or Republicans at three consecutive elections.
