The eighth federal electoral district of Chihuahua (Distrito electoral federal 08 de Chihuahua) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies, and one of nine such districts currently operating 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.

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Chihuahua.[4][3]
