Clackmannanshire and Kinross-shire was a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1832 to 1918.
From 1708 to 1832 Clackmannanshire and Kinross-shire had been 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 by the Representation of the People (Scotland) Act 1832 in a single constituency of Clackmannanshire and Kinross-shire. The constituency also included the parishes of Tulliallan, Culross and Muckhart in Perthshire, the Perthshire portions of the parishes of Logie and Fossaway, and the Stirlingshire part of the parish of Alva.
From 1918, Clackmannanshire was represented as part of Clackmannan and Eastern Stirlingshire, and Kinross-shire as part of Kinross and Western Perthshire.
