The 3rd federal electoral district of Baja California (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 03 de Baja California) 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 in the state of Baja California. ^[1]

It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the first region. ^{[2] [3]}

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Claudia Moreno Ramírez of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena). ^{[4] [5]}

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Ensenada. The district reported a population of 408,150 in the 2020 Census. ^[1]
