Galloway was a county constituency in the Galloway area of Scotland. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, by the first past the post voting system.

It was created for the 1918 general election, and abolished for the 1983 general election, when it was largely replaced by the new Galloway and Upper Nithsdale constituency.
