The Fews was one of the three district electoral areas in Newry and Mourne, Northern Ireland which existed from 1985 to 2014. The district elected six members to Newry and Mourne District Council, and formed part of the Newry and Armagh constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Newry and Mourne Areas D and E which had existed since 1973, and contained the wards of Bessbrook, Camlough, Derrymore, Donaghmore, Newtownhamilton and Tullyhappy. It was abolished for the 2014 local elections and largely replaced with the Slieve Gullion DEA.
