The Volhynia electoral district () was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election. The electoral district covered the Volhynian Governorate. The western parts of the governorate were under German or Austrian occupation. U.S. historian Oliver Henry Radkey, whose account forms the basis of the table below, expresses concern that the account from Volhynia (exclusively brought from a 1918 study by N. S. Sviatitski) may have been largely incomplete, possibly an effect of the proximity to the battle lines.

A total of 17 submitted lists were rejected, out of which 5 were peasants' lists.
