The 1st federal electoral district of Nayarit () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of three such districts in the state of Nayarit.
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.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Any Marilú Porras Baylón of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).
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 1st district covers 402 precincts () across the state's nine northern municipalities, including the Islas Marías: Acaponeta, Huajicori, El Nayar, Rosamorada, Ruiz, San Blas, Santiago Ixcuintla, Tecuala and Tuxpan.
