Armagh Borough (also known as Armagh City) was a constituency represented in the Irish House of Commons from 1613 to 1800.
This constituency was the borough of Armagh in County Armagh.
During the Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Ireland the borough was not represented in the Protectorate Parliaments (1654-1659), except as a small part of the Down, Antrim and Armagh county constituency.
After the restoration, in 1660, the Parliament of Ireland was revived with the borough again represented. In the Patriot Parliament of 1689 summoned by King James II, Armagh Borough was represented with two members.
Following the Act of Union 1800 the borough retained one parliamentary seat in the United Kingdom House of Commons.
