Redcar MP Ian Swales is to stand down at the next General Election.
The Liberal Democrat, who was elected in 2010, said the decision was due to personal reasons.
"It has been an honour and a privilege to represent my local area in Parliament," he added.
"I am proud of what I have achieved so far, especially my role in saving the steel works.
"I will continue to work hard for the area in my remaining time as an MP."
Mr Swales replaced Labour's Vera Baird as Redcar MP following a dramatic swing.
He has a majority of 5,214.
