Montgomeryshire (Welsh: Sir Drefaldwyn) is a constituency^{[n 1]} in Wales represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament.

Created in 1542, it elects one Member of Parliament (MP), traditionally known as the knight of the shire, by the first-past-the-post system of election. Since 2019, Craig Williams has served as the MP for Montgomeryshire, when he succeeded fellow Conservative Glyn Davies.

The Montgomeryshire Senedd constituency was created with the same boundaries in 1999 (as an Assembly constituency).
