The Biysk constituency (No.46) is a Russian legislative constituency in Altai Krai. Currently the constituency covers western Altai Krai, including industrial cities of Biysk and Zarinsk as well as Leninsky and Oktyabrsky districts of Barnaul and its satellite city Novoaltaysk.

The constituency has been represented since 2026 by United Russia deputy Ivan Loor, three-term State Duma member, who was redistricted from Slavgorod constituency.

The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election and in its new configuration it took Oktyabrsky District of Barnaul itself but shedded rural areas to the south of Biysk to Barnaul constituency.
