The Dauria constituency (No.44) was a Russian legislative constituency in Zabaykalsky Krai in 1993–2007 and 2016–2026. The constituency covered western half of Chita as well as western and southern Zabaykalsky Krai. After 2025 redistricting Zabaykalsky Krai lost one of its two constituencies, so Dauria constituency was dissolved and merged with Chita constituency to form new Zabaykalye constituency.
The constituency was last represented by A Just Russia deputy Yury Grigoryev, former Member of State Assembly of the Sakha Republic and businessman, who narrowly won the four-way race against United Russia party official Yekaterina Fisun, Communist former State Duma member Dmitry Nosov and two-term Liberal Democratic incumbent Vasilina Kuliyeva in the 2021 election. Grigoryev unsuccessfully sought re-election in the Zabaykalye constituency in 2026 but was elected to the State Duma on the A Just Russia party list.
