Agusan del Norte's at-large congressional district is the sole congressional district in the province of Agusan del Norte in the Philippines. It was previously represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines from 1969 to 1972 and in the Regular Batasang Pambansa from 1984 to 1986, and was re-created in 2022. The district encompasses the city of Cabadbaran, the provincial capital, and all municipalities of Agusan del Norte. It is currently represented in the 20th Congress by Dale Corvera of the Lakas–CMD.
It was created in 1967 as a result of the creation of the province of Agusan del Norte out of Agusan province, with Agusan del Norte comprising the northern part of the former province. The district elected its first representative province-wide at-large during the 1969 Philippine House of Representatives elections. However, the representative system was eliminated following the dissolution of the lower house in 1972. The district was subsequently absorbed into the multi-member Region X's district for the national parliament in 1978. In 1984, provincial and city representation was restored, and Agusan del Norte elected a member to the regular parliament. It became obsolete following the 1987 reapportionment that established two districts in the province under the new constitution.
The district served as an electoral district in the 1971 Constitutional Convention, with two delegates representing Agusan del Norte at-large.
In 2022, the district was re-created through a law that merged Agusan del Norte's two districts and established Butuan's at-large congressional district as a separate congressional district from the province. The district was contested again in the May 2025 elections.
