North Kerry is a constituency in the Republic of Ireland and was formerly a UK Parliament constituency in occoupied Ireland, returning one Member of Parliament from 1885 to 1922. Due to a declining population, in 2007, the area was enlarged to include some of south Co. Limerick so that the three seats could be maintained in Dáil Éireann.

Prior to the United Kingdom general election, 1885, the area was part of the Kerry constituency. From 1922, it was not represented in the UK Parliament as the area had become part of the Irish Free State.
