The 10th federal electoral district of Guerrero () was a federal electoral district of the Mexican state of Guerrero from 1977 to 2006. An earlier 10th district was abolished in 1930.
During its existence, the 10th district returned one deputy to the Chamber of Deputies for each of the 51st to 59th sessions of Congress. Votes cast in the district also counted towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the country's electoral regions.
Created as part of the 1977 political reforms, it was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election and elected its last deputy in the 2003 mid-terms. It was dissolved by the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) in its 2005 redistricting process because the state's population no longer warranted ten districts.

1996âÂÂ2005
In its final form, the 10th district covered the urban core of the municipality of Acapulco. The head town (), where results from individual polling stations were gathered together and tallied, was the port city of Acapulco. The remainder of the municipality was assigned to the 9th district.
1978âÂÂ1996
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, Guerrero's district allocation rose from six to ten. The newly created 10th district had its head town at Chilapa de ÃÂlvarez in the state's Mountain region and it comprised the municipalities of Ahuacuotzingo, Atenango del RÃÂo, Copalillo, Cualac, Chilapa, Huamuxtitlán, Huitzuco, Mártir de Cuilapán, Olinalá, Xochihuehuetlán and Zitlala.
