The 4th federal electoral district of Nuevo León (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 04 de Nuevo León) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 14 such districts in the state of Nuevo León.[1]

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 second region.[2][3]

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Lilia Olivares Castañeda of the National Action Party (PAN).[4][5]

The fourth district is in the centre of the Monterrey metropolitan area and covers two of the state's municipalities:[7]

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of San Nicolás de los Garza.The district reported a population of 423,298 in the 2020 Census.[1]
