Carmarthenshire was a parliamentary constituency in Wales which returned one Member of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom until its representation was increased to two members for the 1832 general election.
At the 1885 general election, it was divided into two new single-member seats: Carmarthenshire East and Carmarthenshire West, both of which were in turn abolished for the 1918 general election.
