The 18th federal electoral district of Veracruz (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 18 de Veracruz) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 19 such districts in the state of Veracruz.
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 third region.
The 18th district was re-established in 1978 and was subsequently contested in the 1979 mid-term election.
The current member for the district is Jonathan Puertos Chimalhua of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM). He is the alternate of Benito Aguas Atlahua, who was elected in the 2024 general election but was murdered in Zongolica, Veracruz, on 9 December 2024.
