Aberdeen Deeside and North Kincardine is a county constituency of the Scottish Parliament covering part of the Aberdeen City council area and Aberdeenshire. Under the additional-member electoral system used for elections to the Scottish Parliament, it elects one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the first past the post method of election. It is also one of ten constituencies in the North East Scotland electoral region, which elects seven additional members, in addition to the ten constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole.
The constituency was created for 2011 Scottish Parliament election, and combines most of the former Aberdeen South seat along with part of Aberdeenshire that was formerly in West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine. It has been held by Audrey Nicoll of the Scottish National Party since the 2021 Scottish Parliament election. Prior to the second periodic review of Scottish Parliament boundaries in 2025 the constituency was known as Aberdeen South and North Kincardine; the change of name was implemented so as to maintain consistency with the naming of the Aberdeen Donside seat. The seat's borders were left unchanged at this review.
The other nine constituencies of the North East Scotland region are: Aberdeen Central, Aberdeen Donside, Aberdeenshire East, Aberdeenshire West, Angus North and Mearns, Angus South, Banffshire and Buchan Coast, Dundee City East and Dundee City West. The region covers all of the Aberdeen City council area, the Aberdeenshire council area, the Angus council area, the Dundee City council area and part of the Moray council area.
For the first election to the Scottish Parliament, the constituencies used were the same as those already in existence for the House of Commons. For the 2005 general election, the boundaries of the House of Commons constituencies were subject to some alteration, and so these constituencies and those for the Scottish Parliament diverged. There is no longer any link between the two sets of boundaries. Following the first periodic review of parliamentary constituencies to the Scottish Parliament, the Boundary Commission for Scotland created newly shaped seats for the Aberdeen City council area and Aberdeenshire, which were first used at the 2011 Election.
Aberdeen City is divided between three Scottish Parliament constituencies: Aberdeen Central, Aberdeen Donside, and Aberdeen Deeside and North Kincardine. Central and Donside are entirely within the city area, while Deeside and North Kincardine also takes in North Kincardine in the Aberdeenshire council area. The remainder of Aberdeenshire is represented by four further constituencies in the Scottish Parliament: Aberdeenshire East, Aberdeenshire West, Angus North and Mearns and Banffshire and Buchan Coast.
The seat is formed of the following wards of Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeenshire Council:
