Dewas is one of the 29 Lok Sabha (parliamentary) constituencies in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. This constituency came into existence in 2008 as a part of the implementation of delimitation of parliamentary constituencies. Following delimitation, Shajapur constituency ceased to exist and Dewas constituency came into being.[2][3] This constituency is reserved for the candidates belonging to the Scheduled castes and covers parts of Sehore, Shajapur, Agar Malwa and Dewas districts.

Since May 2019, the Member of Parliament for this constituency is Mahendra Solanki[4] whose term is expected to last until May 2024.[needs update]
