North Galway was a UK Parliament constituency in Ireland, returning one Member of Parliament from 1885 to 1922.

Boundaries

This constituency comprised the northern part of County Galway. The boundaries were redefined in 1918 to take account of the transfer of the district electoral division of Rosmoylan from County Galway to County Roscommon under the 1898 Local Government Act.

1885–1918: The baronies of Ballymoe, Clare and Dunmore.

1918–1922: The rural districts of Glennamaddy and Tuam.
