The 4th federal electoral district of Durango () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of four such districts in the state of Durango.
The district elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session through the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also contribute to the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the first region.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Silvia Patricia Jiménez Delgado of the National Action Party (PAN).
