The 4th federal electoral district of Querétaro () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of six such districts in the state of Querétaro.
It returns 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; since 2024, those elected from the fifth region.
Suspended in 1930, the 4th district was re-established by the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) as part of the 1996 districting process and, as such, has returned deputies to Congress since the 1997 mid-terms.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Roberto Sosa Pichardo of the National Action Party (PAN).
District territory Under the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which assigned Querétaro an additional seat in Congress and is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the 4th district covers 176 precincts () across the municipality of Corregidora and a portion of the municipality of Querétaro.
The head town (), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, Santiago de Querétaro. The district reported a population of 417,997 in the 2020 census.
