The 9th federal electoral district of Baja California (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 09 de Baja California) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of nine such districts in the state of Baja California.[1]

It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the first region.[2][3]

The 9th district was created by the National Electoral Institute's 2022 redistricting process on account of shifting demographics and was first contested in the 2024 general election.[4] The first deputy elected from the district is Hilda Araceli Brown Figueredo of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[5][6]
