West Tyrone (Irish: Tír Eoghain Thiar, Ulster Scots: Wast Owenslann) is a constituency in the Northern Ireland Assembly.
The seat was first used for a Northern Ireland-only election for the Northern Ireland Forum in 1996. Since 1998, it has elected members to the current Assembly.
For Assembly elections prior to 1996, the constituency was largely part of the Mid Ulster constituency with a smaller section coming from Fermanagh and South Tyrone constituency. Since 1997, it has shared boundaries with the West Tyrone UK Parliament constituency.
For further details of the history and boundaries of the constituency, see West Tyrone (UK Parliament constituency).
