Fermanagh and South Tyrone is a parliamentary constituency in the British House of Commons. The current Member of Parliament for the constituency is Tom Elliott of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP).

The constituency produced the closest result at the 2010 general election, when Michelle Gildernew of Sinn Féin obtained a majority of just four votes, less than 0.01% of the turnout.

1950-1983: The county of Fermanagh, the Urban District of Dungannon, the Rural Districts of Clogher and Dungannon, and part of the Rural District of Omagh.

1983-1997: The District of Fermanagh, and the District of Dungannon.

1997-present: The District of Fermanagh, and the District of Dungannon wards of Augher, Aughnacloy, Ballygawley, Ballysaggart, Benburb, Caledon, Castlecaulfield, Clogher, Coolhill, Drumglass, Fivemiletown, Killyman, Killymeal, Moy, Moygashel, and Mullaghmore.

The constituency was created in 1950 when the old Fermanagh and Tyrone two-member constituency was abolished as part of the final move to single-member seats. As the name implies, it includes all of County Fermanagh and the southern part of County Tyrone. Of the post-1973 districts, it contained all of Fermanagh, and Dungannon and South Tyrone. In boundary changes resulting from a review in 1995, however, a section of Dungannon and South Tyrone (then called Dungannon) district, around the town of Coalisland, was transferred to the Mid Ulster constituency.
