Carntogher is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Mid Ulster, Northern Ireland.[1] The district elects five members to Mid Ulster District Council and contains the wards of Lower Glenshane, Maghera, Swatragh, Tamlaght O'Crilly and Valley.[2] Carntogher forms part of the Mid Ulster constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 2014 local elections, largely replacing the Sperrin DEA which had existed since 1985.
