The 5th federal electoral district of Coahuila () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of eight such districts in the state of Coahuila.
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 second region.
Suspended in 1930, the 5th district was re-established as part of the 1977 political reforms and was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election. The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is José Guillermo Anaya Llamas of the National Action Party (PAN).
District territory In its 2023 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the National Electoral Institute (INE) assigned Coahuila an additional district. The reconfigured 5th district comprises 205 electoral precincts () in the main portion of the municipality of Torreón.
The head town (), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Torreón. The district reported a population of 358,338 in the 2020 census.
