Aberdeen Deeside and North Kincardine is a county constituency of the Scottish Parliament covering part of the Aberdeen City council area and Aberdeenshire. Under the additional-member electoral system used for elections to the Scottish Parliament, it elects one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the first past the post method of election. It is also one of ten constituencies in the North East Scotland electoral region, which elects seven additional members, in addition to the ten constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole.
The constituency was created for 2011 Scottish Parliament election, and combines most of the former Aberdeen South seat along with part of Aberdeenshire that was formerly in West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine. It has been held by Audrey Nicoll of the Scottish National Party since the 2021 Scottish Parliament election. Prior to the second periodic review of Scottish Parliament boundaries in 2025 the constituency was known as Aberdeen South and North Kincardine; the change of name was implemented so as to maintain consistency with the naming of the Aberdeen Donside seat. The seat's borders were left unchanged at this review.
