Outside Europe () is one of the 22 multi-member constituencies of the Assembly of the Republic, the national legislature of Portugal. It consists of Portuguese citizens residing abroad, registered in Portuguese diplomatic posts outside European countries. The constituency was established in 1976 when the Assembly of the Republic was established by the constitution following the restoration of democracy. The constituency is fixed at electing two of the 230 members of the Assembly of the Republic using the closed party-list proportional representation electoral system. At the 2025 legislative election it had 636,660 registered voters.

Definition For elections to the Assembly of the Republic, Portuguese law establishes two constituencies of Portuguese citizens residing abroad: the constituency of Europe, comprising voters registered in Portuguese diplomatic posts in European countries; and the constituency of Outside Europe, comprising voters registered in other posts. For this purpose, European countries include Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Georgia, Russia and Turkey, but not Kazakhstan.

Each diplomatic post registers voters residing in its area of jurisdiction, which may include multiple countries and territories in different continents. As a result, as of 2025, the constituency of Europe also includes citizens residing in Lebanon, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and in dependent territories of European countries, except British Overseas Territories in the Caribbean and Oceania. Afghanistan was in the jurisdiction of the embassy in Turkey, in the constituency of Europe, for the 2022 election, but changed to the embassy in Pakistan, in the constituency of Outside Europe, for the 2024 election.

Election results The constituency of Outside Europe elects two of the 230 members of the Assembly of the Republic using the closed party-list proportional representation electoral system. Seats are allocated using the D'Hondt method.
