Mid Armagh was a constituency of the Parliament of Northern Ireland.

Mid Armagh was a county constituency comprising the south central part of County Armagh. It was created when the House of Commons (Method of Voting and Redistribution of Seats) Act (Northern Ireland) 1929 introduced first-past-the-post elections throughout Northern Ireland. Mid Armagh was created by the division of Armagh into four new constituencies. The constituency survived unchanged, returning one member of Parliament, until the Parliament of Northern Ireland was temporarily suspended in 1972, and then formally abolished in 1973.

The seat was centred on the town of Armagh and included parts of the rural districts of Armagh, Newry and Tandragee.
