Kekri Assembly constituency is one of the 200 Legislative Assembly constituencies of Rajasthan state in India. It is located in Ajmer district and presently comprises parts of Kekri. The constituency was reserved for candidates belonging to the Scheduled Castes from 1967 to 2003 and became a general constituency after the delimitation of 2008.
The constituency has existed since the 1957 Rajasthan Legislative Assembly election following the merger of the former Ajmer State with Rajasthan under the States Reorganisation Act, 1956. In 1957, Kekri was a 2-member constituency.
The first MLA elected from the constituency was Haribhau Upadhyaya of the Indian National Congress, who had earlier served as the Chief Minister of Ajmer State prior to its merger with Rajasthan. After the merger, he represented this constituency in the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly and later served as the state's Finance and Education Minister.
