Damansara (Kuala Lumpur federal constituency)

Damansara was a federal constituency in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, that was represented in the Dewan Rakyat from 1974 to 2018. It was created in 1974 following a redelineation of electoral boundaries and was abolished in 2018 when it was split into three new constituencies: Petaling Jaya, Damansara, and Shah Alam.

Throughout its existence, Damansara was a significant electoral area, often considered a bellwether for national political trends due to its diverse demographics and socio-economic makeup. It primarily encompassed areas that are now part of Petaling Jaya, a major city in Selangor, bordering Kuala Lumpur.

Notable Members of Parliament who represented Damansara include prominent political figures from various parties. The constituency's boundaries and the demographics of its voters significantly changed over the decades due to rapid urbanization and population growth in the Klang Valley. The abolition of Damansara in 2018 reflected the increasing population density and the need for more localized representation.
