The Bautzen Reichstag constituency was constituency No. 3 in the Kingdom of Saxony which returned a deputy to the Reichstag of the German Empire. It is based upon the towns of Bautzen, Kamenz and Bischofswerda.

Following the North German Confederation Treaty the Kingdom of Saxon entered the North German Confederation in 1866.[1] As a consequence, the Kingdom returned Deputies to the Reichstag.
