Moyola is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Mid Ulster, Northern Ireland. The district elects five members to Mid Ulster District Council and contains the wards of Ballymaguigan, Bellaghy, Castledawson, Draperstown and Tobermore. Moyola forms part of the Mid Ulster constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1985 local elections, where it contained five wards (Bellaghy, Castledawson, Gulladuff, Upperlands and Valley). For the 2014 local elections it gained Ballymaguigan from the Magherafelt Town DEA and Draperstown from the abolished Sperrin DEA.
