    • Arkhangelsk electoral district (Russian: Архангельский избирательный округ) was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election. The electoral district covered the Arkhangelsk Governorate.

Five parties had fielded their candidates in the constituency; The Kadets fielded Aleksander Isupov and Viktor Bartenev, the Socialist-Revolutionaries (supported by the Peasants' Deputies Soviet) fielded Alexey Ivanov and Mikhail Kvyatkovsky, the Bolsheviks fielded Matvei Muranov and Georgy Oppokov and the Mensheviks fielded Anatoli Zhidkov and Vladimir Bustrem. Pavel Osipov was nominated by a group of citizens from Kurlev volost in Kholmogory uezd.
    The election was held in the Arkhangelsk electoral district on November 27–29, 1917.
