The legislative districts of Sultan Kudarat are the representations of the province of Sultan Kudarat in the various national legislatures of the Philippines. The province is currently represented in the lower house of the Congress of the Philippines through its first and second congressional districts.
Prior to gaining separate representation, areas now under the jurisdiction of Sultan Kudarat were represented under the Department of Mindanao and Sulu (1917–1935) and Cotabato (1935–1972).
The enactment of Presidential Decree No. 341 on November 22, 1973 created the Province of Sultan Kudarat out of the reduced Cotabato Province's southern municipalities. [1] This new province was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region XII from 1978 to 1984.
Sultan Kudarat first gained separate representation in 1984, when it returned one representative, elected at large, to the Regular Batasang Pambansa.
Under the new Constitution which was proclaimed on February 11, 1987, the province constituted a lone congressional district, [2] and elected its member to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.
The approval of Republic Act No. 9357 on October 10, 2006 increased Sultan Kudarat's representation by reapportioning the province into two congressional districts, [3] which elected their separate representatives starting in the 2007 elections.

Sultan Kudarat's at-large congressional district is an obsolete congressional district that encompassed the entire province of Sultan Kudarat in the Philippines. It was represented in the House of Representatives from 1987 to 2007 and earlier in the Batasang Pambansa from 1984 to 1986. The province of Sultan Kudarat was created by the further division of Cotabato into three provinces in 1973 out of eleven southernmost municipalities of what remained of the former province. Due to the absence of a legislature since the 1972 imposition of martial law, no electoral district was formed in the new province under its charter. When a national parliament known as the Batasang Pambansa was convened in 1978, Sultan Kudarat and four other provinces in Central Mindanao were collectively represented by eight delegates who were elected across Region XII. The first time a provincewide at-large district was used to elect representatives for Sultan Kudarat was during the 1984 Philippine parliamentary election for a seat in the Regular Batasang Pambansa.
