The seventh federal electoral district of Chihuahua (Distrito electoral federal 07 de Chihuahua) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of nine such districts currently operating in the state of Chihuahua.
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 seventh district was re-established as part of the 1977 electoral reforms. Under the 1975 districting plan, Chihuahua had only six congressional districts; under the 1977 reforms, the number increased to ten. The restored seventh district elected its first deputy in the 1979 mid-term election.

Under that plan, Chihuahua's seat allocation rose from six to ten. The restored seventh district comprised the southern portion of the state capital, the city of Chihuahua, the rural areas of its surrounding municipality, and the municipalities of Aldama, Aquiles Serdán, Santa Isabel, Julimes and Meoqui.
