Caerfyrddin (Welsh: [kairˈvərðɪn]), also known as Carmarthen, is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament, first contested at the 2024 United Kingdom general election, following the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies.

It previously existed between 1918 and 1997 under the English version of the name, Carmarthen. Prior to this a "Carmarthen Boroughs" existed from 1832 to 1918, as well as two county constituencies, of East Carmarthenshire and West Carmarthenshire.

Between 1997 and 2024 the county was divided between Carmarthen East and Dinefwr constituency and Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire.
