Sperrin is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Derry and Strabane, Northern Ireland.[1] The district elects seven members to Derry and Strabane District Council and contains the wards of Artigarvan, Ballycolman, Dunnamanagh, Glenelly Valley, Park, Strabane North and Strabane West.[2] Sperrin forms part of the West Tyrone constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 2014 local elections, largely replacing the Glenelly DEA and the Mourne DEA which had existed since 1985.
