Ob constituency

The Ob constituency (No.182^[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in Tomsk Oblast. The constituency covers southern half of Tomsk and sparsely populated western and central Tomsk Oblast, including oil-mining towns Kedrovy and Strezhevoy. After 2025 redistricting Tomsk Oblast is slated to lose one of its two constituencies, so Ob constituency is going to be dissolved and merged with Tomsk constituency.

The constituency covered most of Tomsk Oblast outside of the oblast capital Tomsk and its suburbs. After the 1995 redistricting Tomsk Oblast lost one of its two constituencies, so both Tomsk Rural and Tomsk Urban constituencies were merged into a single constituency, covering the entirety of Tomsk Oblast.

The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election. Tomsk Oblast re-gained a second district, so new Ob constituency took southern half of Tomsk and sparsely populated western and central Tomsk Oblast.
