Inverclyde is a county constituency of the Scottish Parliament covering the entire council area of Inverclyde. 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 West 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 seat was created by the Second Periodic Review of Scottish Parliament Boundaries in 2025, and is expected to be first contested at the 2026 Scottish Parliament election. It replaces the former Greenock and Inverclyde, which was abolished at this review. It also includes the village of Kilmacolm, which was formerly in the Renfrewshire North and West constituency.
