The Rasskazovo constituency (No.178) was a Russian legislative constituency in Tambov Oblast in 2016–2026. The constituency covered north-eastern part of Tambov and south-eastern half of Tambov Oblast, including the towns Rasskazovo and Uvarovo. After 2025 redistricting Tambov Oblast lost one of its two constituencies, so Rasskazovo constituency was dissolved and merged with Tambov constituency.
The constituency was last represented by United Russia deputy Aleksandr Polyakov, a two-term State Duma member and agribusinessman, who previously represented neighbouring Tambov constituency. Polyakov succeeded one-term United Russia incumbent Aleksandr Zhupikov in 2021. Polyakov did not seek re-election in 2026.
