Armagh was a county constituency of the Parliament of Northern Ireland from 1921 - 1929. It returned four MPs, using the single transferable vote method of proportional representation.
Armagh consisted of the entirety of County Armagh. In 1929, the constituency was divided into the Central, Mid, North and South Armagh constituencies.
Armagh had a slight Unionist majority, but this was fairly evenly balanced with a Nationalist minority. In both general elections, two Unionists were elected, alongside one Nationalist and one Republican.
