The Eighth Federal Electoral District of Chihuahua (VIII Distrito Electoral Federal de Chihuahua) is one of the 300 Electoral Districts into which Mexico is divided for the purpose of elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of nine such districts in the state of Chihuahua.
It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative period, by means of the first past the post system.
Under the 2005 districting scheme, Chihuahua's Eighth District comprises the eastern and northern portions of Chihuahua Municipality, including approximately one-half of the urban area of the city of Chihuahua. The other half of the city, and the rest of the municipality, is covered by the Sixth District.
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Chihuahua.
Between 1996 and 2005, the Eighth District covered the southern portion of Chihuahua Municipality, the part south of the Río Chuvíscar.
Between 1979 and 1996, the Eighth District covered the urban area of Ciudad Juárez.
