The Dzerzhinsk constituency (No.119) was a Russian legislative constituency in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast in 1993–2007. It covered western Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, including industrial towns of Dzerzhinsk and Pavlovo. The seat was last occupied by United Russia faction member Vladimir Stalmakhov, a businessman and FSB veteran, who defeated incumbent first-term Communist State Duma member Vladimir Basov in the 2003 election.
The constituency was dissolved in 2007 when State Duma adopted full proportional representation for the next two electoral cycles. Dzerzhinsk constituency was not re-established for the 2016 election, as Nizhny Novgorod Oblast lost its sixth seat, and was partitioned between Avtozavodsky and Kanavinsky constituencies.
