Clackmannan and Eastern Stirlingshire was a parliamentary constituency in the Clackmannan area of Central Scotland. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, elected by the first past the post system.
The constituency was created for the 1918 general election, and abolished for the 1983 general election, when it was replaced by the new Clackmannan constituency.
The constituency comprised two separate parts, north and south of Falkirk town centre, with part of the similarly split Stirling, Falkirk and Grangemouth constituency in between.
