Partick was a county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1885 until 1918.
A division of the county of Lanarkshire, its territory was incorporated into the city of Glasgow in the 1890s. For the 1918 general election, it was largely replaced by the new Glasgow Partick constituency, a division of the city of Glasgow.
From 1885 the constituency consisted of "So much of the Parish of Govan as lies north of the Clyde and beyond the present boundary of the municipal burgh of Glasgow, and so much of the parish of Barony as lies to the west of the present main line of railway between Glasgow and Edinburgh of the North British Railway Company (being the old Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway) and beyond the present boundary of the municipal burgh of Glasgow."[1]
