1st federal electoral district of Aguascalientes

The 1st federal electoral district of Aguascalientes () 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 Aguascalientes.

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 second region.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Humberto Ambriz Delgadillo of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).

Under the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the 1st district covers 150 electoral precincts () across ten of the state's 11 municipalities:

The district's head town (), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Jesús María. The district reported a population of 482,911 in the 2020 Census.

Previous districting schemes

2017–2022

In the 2017 scheme, the 1st district covered the same ten municipalities.

2005–2017

Under the 2005 redistricting process, the district was made up of the same ten municipalities.

1996–2005

Aguascalientes gained a congressional seat in 1996. The reconfigured 1st district acquired the composition – the entire state, minus the capital and its municipality – it would have in the later schemes.

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. Aguascalientes's seat allocation, however, remained unchanged at two. The 1st district covered the city of Aguascalientes, with its surrounding municipality assigned to the 2nd district.
