The 7th federal electoral district of Chihuahua () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of nine such districts in the state of Chihuahua.

It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the first region.

Suspended in 1930, the 7th district was re-established as part of the 1977 electoral reforms. Under the 1975 districting plan, Chihuahua had only six congressional districts; with the 1977 reforms, the number increased to ten. The restored 7th district elected its first deputy in the 1979 mid-term election.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Jesús Roberto Corral Ordóñez of the Labour Party (PT).

District territory

Under the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the district is located in the centre-west portion of the state, and comprises 509 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 19 municipalities:

  • Bachíniva, Buenaventura, Casas Grandes, Cuauhtémoc, Cusihuiriachi, Galeana, Santa Isabel, Gómez Farías, Gran Morelos, Guerrero, Ignacio Zaragoza, Madera, Matachí, Moris, Namiquipa, Nuevo Casas Grandes, Ocampo, Riva Palacio and Temósachic.

Its head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Ciudad Cuauhtémoc. The district reported a population of 431,078 in the 2020 Census.

;1996–2005 :Chihuahua lost its 10th district in the 1996 redistricting process. Between 1996 and 2005, the 7th district was located in the centre-west portion of the state and comprised mostly municipalities of the Sierra Tarahumara region: Bachíniva, Batopilas, Bocoyna, Carichí, Chínipas, Cuauhtémoc, Cusihuiriachi, Dr. Belisario Domínguez, Gran Morelos, Guazapares, Guerrero, Maguarichi, Moris, Nonoava, Ocampo, Riva Palacio, San Francisco de Borja, Santa Isabel, Satevó, Uruachi and Urique.

Under that plan, Chihuahua's seat allocation rose from six to ten. The restored 7th district comprised the southern portion of the state capital, the city of Chihuahua, the rural areas of its surrounding municipality, and the municipalities of Aldama, Aquiles Serdán, Santa Isabel, Julimes and Meoqui.
