Belfast Shankill was a constituency of the Parliament of Northern Ireland.
It was created in 1929 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.
It 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 strongly Unionist, but there was some labour movement strength.
For the first twenty-four years of its existence, the seat was held by an independent Unionist.
