Clackmannanshire and Kinross-shire were constituencies of the House of Commons of the Parliament of Great Britain from 1708 to 1801 and of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1918.
From 1708 to 1832 they were paired as alternating constituencies: one of the constituencies elected a Member of Parliament (MP) to one parliament, the other to the next.
From 1832, the two were joined in a single constituency of Clackmannanshire and Kinross-shire.
From 1918, Clackmannanshire was represented as part of Clackmannan and Eastern Stirlingshire, and Kinross-shire as part of Kinross and Western Perthshire.
