Almond Valley (Gaelic: Srath Amain) is a constituency of the Scottish Parliament (Holyrood) covering part of the council area of West Lothian. It elects one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the plurality (first past the post) method of election. It is also one of nine constituencies in the Lothian electoral region, which elects seven additional members, in addition to the nine constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole.

The constituency was formed for the 2011 Scottish Parliament election, and comprises much of the old Livingston constituency. It is named for the River Almond which flows through Livingston. Since being formed the seat has been held Angela Constance of the Scottish National Party, who was formerly the MSP for Livingston.
