Clogher Valley is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Mid Ulster, Northern Ireland.[1] The district elects six members to Mid Ulster District Council and contains the wards of Augher and Clogher, Aughnacloy, Ballygawley, Caledon, Castlecaulfield and Fivemiletown.[2] Clogher Valley forms part of the Fermanagh and South Tyrone constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Dungannon Area A which had existed since 1973, where it originally contained five wards (Augher, Ballygawley, Castlecaulfield, Clogher and Fivemiletown). For the 2014 local elections it gained Aughnacloy and Caledon from the abolished Blackwater DEA.
