The Northern constituency (No.213 ^[a] ) is a Russian legislative constituency in Saint Petersburg. The constituency covers residential northern part of the city.

Boundaries

1993–1995: Kalininsky District (northern part), Vyborgsky District ^[2]
The constituency covered all of mostly residential Vyborgsky District and part of Kalininsky District in northern Saint Petersburg.

1995–2003: Kalininsky District (part of Grazhdanka, part of Akademicheskoye, Municipal Okrug 21, part of Piskaryovka, Severny, Prometey), Vyborgsky District (Sampsoniyevskoye, Svetlanovskoye, part of Sosnovskoye, Municipal Okrug 15) ^[3]
Following the 1995 redistricting the constituency was significantly changed, losing northern part of Vyborgsky District to North-Western constituency as well as some precincts in Kalininsky District to Central constituency.

2003–2007: Kalininsky District (Akademicheskoye, Municipal Okrug 21, Severny, Prometey), Vyborgsky District (Sampsoniyevskoye, Svetlanovskoye, Sosnovskoye, Municipal Okrug 15, Parnas) ^[4]
After the 2003 redistricting the constituency was slightly altered, losing its portions of Grazhdanka and Piskaryovka municipal okrugs to Central constituency. This seat instead gained the rest of Sosnovskoye and Parnas from North-Western constituency as well as the rest of Akademicheskoye from Central constituency.

2016–2026: Kalininsky District (Finlyandsky, Grazhdanka, Piskaryovka), Vyborgsky District ^[5]
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election and retained part of its former territory, losing its former portion of northern Kalininsky District to North-Eastern constituency. This seat instead gained the rest of Vyborgsky District from North-Western constituency as well as Finlyandsky, Grazhdanka and Piskaryovka in Kalininsky District from Central constituency.

Since 2026: Kalininsky District (Akademicheskoye, Grazhdanka), Petrogradsky District, Tsentralny District (Liteyny, Smolninskoye), Vyborgsky District (Sampsoniyevskoye, Svetlanovskoye, Shuvalovo-Ozerki, Levashovo, Pargolovo) ^[6]
The constituency was significantly changed following the 2025 redistricting as it retained most of Vyborgsky District and Grazhdanka municipal okrug, losing residential north-eastern Vyborgsky District, Finlyandsky and Piskaryovka municipal okrugs to North-Western constituency. This seat instead was pushed southwards into downtown Saint Petersburg, gaining Petrogradsky District and Liteyny Municipal Okrug from Central constituency as well as Smolninskoye Municipal Okrug from Eastern constituency.
