Argyllshire was a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of Great Britain from 1708 to 1800 and of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801 until 1950, when it was renamed Argyll. The constituency was replaced in 1983 with Argyll and Bute.
It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) using the first-past-the-post voting system.
Before the Acts of Union 1707, the barons of the shire or sheriffdom of Argyll elected commissioners to represent them in the unicameral Parliament of Scotland and in the Convention of the Estates.
From 1708 Argyllshire was represented by one Member of Parliament in the House of Commons of Great Britain.
