Glenrothes (/ɡlɛnˈrɒθɪs/) is a constituency in Scotland represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2005.

The seat has been held since the 2015 general election by Peter Grant of the Scottish National Party (SNP), who gained it from the Labour Party, which had held it since its creation. The seat includes the major settlements of Cardenden, Glenrothes and Markinch.

Under the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies the Boundary Commission for Scotland recommended the constituency to be renamed Glenrothes and Mid Fife, to be first contested at the 2024 general election.[1]
