The Balashikha constituency (No.117) is a Russian legislative constituency in Moscow Oblast. The constituency covers northeastern suburbs of Moscow, including the cities Balashikha, Mytishchi and Reutov.

The constituency has been represented since 2021 by United Russia deputy Vyacheslav Fomichyov, former Member of Moscow Oblast Duma and State Military-Technical Museum director, who won the open seat, succeeding one-term United Russia incumbent Maksim Surayev, after the latter unsuccessfully sought re-election only through party-list representation.

Boundaries

2016–2026: Balashikha, Mytishchi, Reutov ^[2]
The constituency was created for the 2016 election to cover north-eastern Moscow suburbs from the former Mytishchi (Mytishchi) and Pushkino (Balashikha and Reutov) constituencies.

Since 2026: Balashikha, Reutov ^[3]
After 2025 redistricting the constituency was significantly altered, losing Mytishchi to the re-created Mytishchi constituency. Thus the seat was reconfigured to cover only inner eastern suburbs of Moscow.
