Phulbani Lok Sabha constituency was a Lok Sabha parliamentary constituency in Orissa state in eastern India which was set up in 1962 then abolished in 2009. It was abolished because of the recommendation by Delimitation Commission of India. Each seat should have the same number of residents. When the number changes with respect to time, then the seat boundaries are changed by the central government.
