The Nizhny Tagil constituency (No.171) is a Russian legislative constituency in Sverdlovsk Oblast. The constituency covers central Sverdlovsk Oblast and anchors in the industrial city of Nizhny Tagil.
The constituency has been represented since 2021 by United Russia deputy Konstantin Zakharov, former Uralvagonzavod HR director and Deputy Mayor of Nizhny Tagil, who won the open seat, succeeding one-term United Russia incumbent Aleksey Balyberdin.
Boundaries 1993–1995: Kirovgrad, Nizhny Tagil, Nizhnyaya Salda, Prigorodny District, Verkhnesaldinsky District, Verkhnyaya Salda The constituency was centred on a major industrial city Nizhny Tagil and covered surrounding areas in western Sverdlovsk Oblast, including industrial towns Kirovgrad, Nizhnyaya Salda and Verkhnyaya Salda.
1995–2007: Kirovgrad, Nevyansky District, Nizhny Tagil, Novouralsk, Prigorodny District, Verkh-Neyvinsky, Verkhny Tagil The constituency was significantly altered following the 1995 redistricting, losing Nizhnyaya Salda and Verkhnyaya Salda to Artyomovsky constituency in exchange for Nevyansk and Nevyansky District.
2016–2026: Alapayevsk, Gornouralsky, Kirovgrad, Kushva, Nevyansky District, Nizhny Tagil, Verkh-Neyvinsky, Verkhny Tagil, Verkhnyaya Tura The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election and retained mots of its former territory, losing only closed city Novouralsk to Pervouralsk constituency.
