The legislative districts of Bohol are the representations of the province of Bohol in the various national legislatures of the Philippines. The province is currently represented in the lower house of the Congress of the Philippines through its first, second, and third congressional districts.

History

Bohol had been divided into three congressional districts since 1907, although the district configurations were altered with the restoration of the House of Representatives in 1987. It was part of the representation of Region VII from 1978 to 1984, and from 1984 to 1986 it elected three assemblymen at-large.
