Fife is represented in the Scottish Parliament by five constituencies, Cowdenbeath, Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, Mid Fife and Glenrothes and Fife North East.

The constituency of Cowdenbeath was created by the first periodic review of Scottish Parliament boundaries ahead of the 2011 Scottish Parliament election from the following electoral wards of Fife Council:

In full:
- Inverkeithing and Dalgety Bay
- Cowdenbeath
- Lochgelly, Cardenden and Benarty
In part:

At the second periodic review of Scottish Parliament boundaries in 2025 the seat boundaries were very slightly altered by a minor change of the boundary with the Dunfermline constituency in order to match ward boundaries (no electors were affected by this boundary change).
