Stirling is a county constituency of the Scottish Parliament covering part of the council area of Stirling. 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 is one of nine constituencies in the Mid Scotland and Fife electoral region, which elects seven additional members, in addition to the nine constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole.

The seat has been held by Evelyn Tweed of the Scottish National Party since the 2021 Scottish Parliament election.
