The ninth federal electoral district of Chiapas (Distrito electoral federal 09 de Chiapas) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 13 such districts in the state of Chiapas.
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 state capital, Tuxtla Gutiérrez.[1]

The head town was the city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez.

Between 1996 and 2005, the ninth district covered the whole of the municipality of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, with the city serving as the head town.[3]
The ninth district of Chiapas was created in 1977. Prior to that year, Chiapas only had six federal electoral districts. The ninth district elected its first deputy, to the 51st Congress, in 1979.
