North Tayside was a county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1983 until 2005. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first-past-the-post voting system.

The constituency was abolished for the 2005 general election, and the area is now represented by Angus and Perth and North Perthshire. After 2023, the area will be covered by Angus and Perthshire Glens, of which the boundaries are very similar to the old North Tayside.[2]

The Scottish Parliament constituency of North Tayside, which covered the same area, was in existence from 1999 to 2011. The Angus and Perthshire Glens constituency created in 2024 has near identical boundaries to the old North Tayside seat.
