Chittagong-3 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2026 by Mostafa Kamal Pasha of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.
Boundaries The constituency encompasses Sandwip Upazila.
History The constituency was created for the first general elections in newly independent Bangladesh, held in 1973.
According to BNA News 24, the constituency encompassed Sandwip Upazila at least as far back as the 1991 general election.
Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census. The 2008 redistricting added a 16th seat to Chittagong District. The new Chittagong-16 constituency covered Sandwip Upazila. Chittagong-3 was changed to encompass Sitakunda Upazila and Chittagong City Corporation wards 9 and 10.
Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission renumbered the seat for Sandwip Upazila from Chittagong-16 to Chittagong-3, bumping up by one the suffix of the former constituency of that name and the higher-numbered constituencies in the district. Subsequent news reports occasionally misidentified Chittagong-3 as Sitakunda, even as late as the 2018 election, but most sources quickly adjusted to the return to Sandwip Upazila.
