Agusan del Norte's 1st congressional district was one of the congressional districts for the House of Representatives of the Philippines in the province of Agusan del Norte. It was one of only two districts in the province in existence from 1987 to 2025. [3] The district covered the independent city of Butuan and its neighbor, the municipality of Las Nieves. [4] The district was dissolved in 2025 following the creation of Butuan's at-large congressional district, redistricting Las Nieves to the province's at-large district as well. [5]
