6th federal electoral district of Tabasco

The 6th federal electoral district of Tabasco () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of six such districts in the state of Tabasco.

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 third region.

Tabasco's 6th was created by the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) in its 1996 redistricting process to accommodate shifting demographics. The new district elected its first deputy in the 1997 mid-terms.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).
