22nd federal electoral district of Veracruz

The 22nd federal electoral district of Veracruz (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 22 de Veracruz) is a defunct federal electoral district of the Mexican state of Veracruz.

During its existence, the 22nd district returned one deputy to the Chamber of Deputies for each of the 51st to 59th sessions of Congress. Votes cast in the district also counted towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the country's electoral regions.

Created as part of the 1977 political reforms, it was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election and it elected its last deputy in the 2003 mid-terms. Along with the 23rd district, it was dissolved by the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) in its 2005 redistricting process because the state's population no longer warranted 23 districts.
