4th federal electoral district of Guanajuato

The 4th federal electoral district of Guanajuato () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 15 such districts in the state of Guanajuato.

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 Francisco Javier Estrada Domínguez of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).

The head town (), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, the city of Guanajuato. The district reported a population of 380,060 in the 2020 Census.

Previous districting schemes

2017–2022

Between 2017 and 2022, the 4th district had the same configuration as in the 2023 plan.

2005–2017

Under the 2005 plan, Guanajuato had only 14 districts. This district's head town was the state capital and it covered three municipalities:
*Guanajuato and Dolores Hidalgo in their entirety, plus 47 precincts in the north-east of Irapuato.

1996–2005

In the 1996 scheme, under which Guanajuato was assigned 15 seats, the district had its head town at Guanajuato and it comprised two municipalities in their entirety:
*Guanajuato and Silao.

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, Guanajuato's seat allocation rose from 9 to 13. The 4th district covered the whole of the municipality of Irapuato.
