Ross and Cromarty was a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1832 to 1983. It combined in one constituency the former constituencies of Ross-shire and Cromartyshire, the Fortrose component of the former Inverness Burghs constituency and the Dingwall and Cromarty components of the former Northern Burghs constituency. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP).
In 1983, the boundary changed to bring in the Isle of Skye and Isle of Raasay, to form the new parliamentary constituency of Ross, Cromarty and Skye.
An Easter Ross area was taken from the constituency in 1997 and it became Ross, Skye and Inverness West.
In 2005 the constituency was abolished and the sitting MP was re-elected as MP for the new constituency of Ross, Skye and Lochaber (see Lochaber).
There is also a Ross, Skye and Inverness West constituency of the Scottish Parliament, which was created in 1999 with the same boundaries as the former House of Commons constituency of that name.
