Mid Tyrone is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Fermanagh and Omagh, Northern Ireland. The district elects six members to Fermanagh and Omagh District Council and contains the wards of Beragh, Drumnakilly, Gortin, Owenkillew, Sixmilecross and Termon. Omagh forms part of the West Tyrone constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Omagh Area B, Omagh Area C and Omagh Area D which had existed since 1973, where it originally contained seven wards (Beragh, Drumnakilly, Gortin, Killyclogher, Owenkillew, Sixmilecross and Termon). For the 2014 local elections it was reduced to six wards, losing Killyclogher to the Omagh DEA.
