The 3rd federal electoral district of Tlaxcala () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of three such districts in the state of Tlaxcala.
It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative period, by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the fourth region.
Dissolved in 1930, the 3rd district was re-established by the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) in its 1996 redistricting process.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Irma Yordana Garay Loredo of the Labour Party (PT).
