10th federal electoral district of Chiapas

The 10th federal electoral district of Chiapas () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 13 such districts in the state of Chiapas.

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.

The 10th district of Chiapas was created in 1996. Between 1979 and 1996, Chiapas only had nine federal electoral districts; the 1996 redistricting process increased the number to 12. The 10th district elected its first deputy in the 1997 mid-terms.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Deliamaría González Flandez. Originally elected for the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), she switched allegiance to the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM) at the start of the legislative session.
