Old Cumnock Parish was one of 10 electoral wards of Cumnock and Doon Valley District Council. Created in 1974, the ward elected one councillor using the first-past-the-post voting electoral system.
The ward produced strong results for Labour with the party holding the seat at two of the three elections. It was also one of the Scottish Labour Party's (SLP) few successes in the 1977 local elections.
In 1984, the ward was abolished and the area covered by it split between two newly created wards – Cumnock South and Old Cumnock and Cumnock West and Auchinleck.
