4th federal electoral district of Jalisco

The 4th federal electoral district of Jalisco () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 20 such districts in the state of Jalisco.

It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session 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 first region.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Raúl Álvarez Villaseñor. Originally elected for the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM), he switched allegiance to the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) at the start of the congressional session.

1978–1996

The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, Jalisco's seat allocation rose from 13 to 20. The 4th district covered a part of the sector Reforma in the state capital, Guadalajara.
