Nalwa Vidhan Sabha constituency (Hindi: नलवा विधानसभा निर्वाचन क्षेत्र) in Hisar district is one of the 90 Vidhan Sabha constituencies of Haryana state in northern India.
Nalwa became a new Vidhan Sabha constituency of Legislative Assembly of Haryana in the state of Haryana in the 2008 delimitation exercise. Earlier, most of the villages of this constituency were under Adampur, a stronghold of Bhajan Lal. Some of the villages were earlier with the Bawani Khera Constituency.
Nalwa is part of Hisar Lok Sabha constituency along with eight other Vidhan Sabha segments, namely, Uchana in Jind district and Adampur, Uklana, Narnaund, Hansi, Barwala, Hisar and Bawani Khera in Hisar district.
Nalwa constituency was represented by an ex-minister of Haryana and senior Congress leader of the Haryana State Assembly, Professor Sampat Singh. He won the October 2009 elections with a margin of 10,901 votes, defeating Jasma Devi of the Haryana Janhit Congress. Jasma Devi is the wife of Bhajan Lal and this was the first defeat of the Bhajanlal clan in Haryana state politics. This defeat led to the downfall of Bhajanlal's Haryana Janhit Congress in literal terms for just after winning, five out of total six MLAs of Haryana Janhit Congress left the HJC and joined the Congress.
