The Yekaterinoslav electoral district (Russian: Екатеринославский избирательный округ) was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election.

The electoral district covered the Yekaterinoslav Governorate.[3] Yekaterinoslav was a large province; ethnically and economically diverse.[4] The Yekaterinoslav electoral district recorded the highest vote for a landowners list in the country. List 1, Landowners and Nonpartisan Progressives, gathered 26,597 votes (2.2%), and was headed by Mikhail Rodzianko (an Octobrist leader, having served as the presiding officer in the 3rd and 4th Dumas, elected on the Stolypin franchise).[5] Joseph Stalin stood as a candidate on the Bolshevik list.[6] The conservative press reported a quiet and orderly election in the province.[7]

Out of the ten deputies elected from List 5, nine belonged to the Ukrainian Socialist-Revolutionary Party and one belonged to the Ukrainian Social Democratic Labour Party.[8]
