The Ussuriysk constituency (No. 53) was a Russian legislative constituency in Primorsky Krai in 1993-2007. It covered several major cities in southern Primorsky Krai outside of Vladivostok. The seat was last occupied by Independent deputy Svetlana Goryacheva, former Deputy Chairwoman of the Supreme Council of Russia and prosecutor, who won the open-seat race in the 1995 election.
The constituency was dissolved in 2007 when State Duma adopted full proportional representation for the next two electoral cycles. Ussuriysk constituency was not re-established for the 2016 election, currently the constituency is divided between all other Primorsky Krai districts: south-western Primorsky Krai and Ussuriysk were placed into Vladivostok constituency, Bolshoy Kamen and Fokino into Artyom constituency, and Nakhodka and Partizansk were put into Arsenyev constituency.
