The Sterlitamak constituency (No.8) is a Russian legislative constituency in Bashkortostan. The constituency covers south-central Bashkiria and anchors in Sterlitamak.
The constituency has been represented since 2021 by United Russia deputy Dinar Gilmutdinov, the former Chief State Automobile Inspector of Bashkortostan, who won the open seat, succeeding one-term United Russia incumbent Aleksey Izotov.
