Permatang Pauh is a federal constituency in Central Seberang Perai District, Penang, Malaysia, that has been represented in the Dewan Rakyat since 1974.

The federal constituency was created from parts of the Seberang Tengah constituency in the 1974 redistribution and is mandated to return a single member to the Dewan Rakyat under the first past the post voting system.

The seat was long established as a stronghold of Anwar Ibrahim's family.

Anwar’s father Ibrahim Abdul Rahman was Seberang Tengah MP from 1959 to 1969 and the family held the Permatang Pauh seat from 1982 until 2022 when his daughter Nurul Izzah unexpectedly lost the seat to Perikatan Nasional in the 2022 election.
