The 1st federal electoral district of Campeche () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of two such districts in the state of Campeche.
It elects 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 elected from the third region.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).
District territory Under the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the first district comprises 259 electoral precincts () across seven municipalities in the east of the state: Calakmul, Calkiní, Campeche, Dzitbalché, Hecelchakán, Hopelchén and Tenabo.
The district's head town (), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, San Francisco de Campeche.
The district reported a population of 470,590 in the 2020 census. With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 57% of that total, it is classified by the INE as an indigenous district.

2017–2022 In the 2017 plan, the district covered six municipalities: Calakmul, Calkiní, Campeche, Hecelchakán, Hopelchén and Tenabo. Since Dzitbalché was a part of Calkiní until 2019, the district's territory was the same as the 2023 plan.
2005–2017 Under the 2005 districting scheme, it covered five municipalities: Campeche, Calkiní, Hecelchakán, Hopelchén and Tenabo. The link contains maps of the 1996 and 2005 schemes.
1996–2005 Between 1996 and 2005, the district comprised the same five municipalities as in the 2005 scheme.
1978–1996 The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Campeche's seat allocation, however, remained unchanged at two. The 1st district had its head town at Ciudad del Carmen and it covered the municipalities of Carmen, Champotón and Palizada.
