Kirkcaldy is a burgh constituency of the Scottish Parliament covering part of the council area of Fife. Under the additional-member electoral system used for elections to the Scottish Parliament, it elects one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the plurality (first past the post) method of election. It also forms one of nine constituencies in the Mid Scotland and Fife electoral region, which elects seven additional members, in addition to nine constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole.

The seat has been held by David Torrance of the Scottish National Party since the 2011 Scottish Parliament election.
