3rd federal electoral district of Nayarit

The 3rd federal electoral district of Nayarit () 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 Nayarit.

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 first region.

Suspended in 1930, the 3rd district was restored as part of the 1977 political reforms and was contended again in the 1979 election; between 1930 and 1979, Nayarit comprised only two federal electoral districts.

The current member for the district, re-elected in the 2024 general election, is Jorge Armando Ortiz Rodríguez of the Labour Party (PT).

The head town (), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Compostela. The district reported a population of 454,432 in the 2020 Census.

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, Nayarit's seat allocation rose from two to three. The restored 3rd district had its head town at Compostela and it comprised ten of the state's municipalities.
