The Chernigov electoral district (Russian: Черниговский избирательный округ) was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election.

The electoral district covered the Chernigov Governorate.^[3] Chernigov was an agrarian province. The Bolshevik Party was absent in most uezds and weak in others. But returning soldiers, about a quarter of the electorate, boosted the Bolshevik vote.^[4]
