Angus was a constituency of the Scottish Parliament used between 1999 and 2011. It elected one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the first past the post method of election. Under the additional-member electoral system used for elections to the Scottish Parliament it was also one of nine constituencies in the North East Scotland electoral region, which elected seven additional members, in addition to nine constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole.

Ahead of the 2011 Scottish Parliament election the Angus constituency was abolished. From 2011 onwards the Angus council area has been covered by two separate constituencies: Angus North and Mearns and Angus South
