Dunfermline was a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1974 until 1983.
The constituency was defined by the Second Periodical Review of the Boundary Commission, and first used in the February 1974 general election, as one of four constituencies covering the county of Fife.
[1] February 1974 boundaries were used also in the general elections of October 1974 and 1979.
In 1975 Scottish counties and burghs were abolished under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 and replaced with two-tier regions and districts and unitary islands council areas.
The Third Periodical Review took account of new local government boundaries, and results were implemented for the 1983 general election.
