The Tobolsk electoral district (Russian: Тобольский избирательный округ) was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election.

The electoral district covered the Tobolsk Governorate.[3] Tobolsk hosted one of only 2 undivided Social Democratic lists in the fray across the country.[4] Soviet sources indicated that the Social Democratic list was Menshevik-dominated.[5] In September 1917, the Bolshevik Party in Omsk sent a small soldiers and railway workers to campaign amongst the peasantry in Tobolsk Governorate ahead of the elections.[6]
