Sperrin was one of the three district electoral areas in Magherafelt, Northern Ireland which existed from 1985 to 2014. The district elected five members to Magherafelt District Council, and formed part of the Mid Ulster constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Magherafelt Area A which had existed since 1973, and contained the wards of Draperstown, Lower Glenshane, Maghera, Swatragh and Tobermore. It was abolished for the 2014 local elections and largely replaced with the new Carntogher DEA with Draperstown moving to the Moyola DEA.
