Dungannon was a United Kingdom Parliament constituency, in Ireland, returning one MP. It was an original constituency represented in Parliament when the Union of Great Britain and Ireland took effect on 1 January 1801 and was abolished by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885. This act split County Tyrone into four single-member constituencies: East Tyrone, Mid Tyrone, North Tyrone and South Tyrone. It took effect at the 1885 United Kingdom general election.

Knox was returned in the ballot for Irish borough constituencies held in December 1800. However, he had been lost at sea the previous month while on his way to take up the post of Governor of Jamaica. This was not known at the time of the ballot. No writ to replace him was issued until 4 November 1801
At both the 1802 and 1806 elections, George Knox was also returned for Dublin University, and chose to sit for that seat rather than for Dungannon.
