Central Armagh was a constituency of the Parliament of Northern Ireland.
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.
[citation needed] The seat was centred on the towns of Portadown and Tandragee and included parts of the rural districts of Armagh, Lurgan and Tandragee.

It was twice contested by labour movement candidates, who took around one third of the votes cast.
