The Novgorod electoral district (Russian: Новгородский избирательный округ) was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election. The electoral district covered the Novgorod Governorate.^[3] Eight seats in the Constituent Assembly were assigned to the Novgorod constituency.^[4]

Whilst Novgorod was an agrarian province, the Bolsheviks obtained a good vote. This might have been due to the fact that many inhabitants were accustomed to perform seasonal work in nearby Petrograd.^[5] 4 local peasants lists did not qualify to run in the election.^[6]
