The Bratsk constituency (No.98) is a Russian legislative constituency in Irkutsk Oblast. The constituency covers northern Irkutsk Oblast, including major industrial centre Bratsk.

The constituency has been represented since 2026 by Communist deputy Oleg Novitsky, retired cosmonaut and Hero of Russia, who won the open seat after two-term United Russia incumbent Alexander Yakubovsky successfully sought re-election in the Irkutsk constituency.

The constituency was significantly altered following the 1995 redistricting, swapping Nizhneilimsky District for Balagansky and Ust-Udinsky districts with Tulun constituency. This seat also gained Irkutsky, Kachugsky and Olkhonsky districts in the south from Angarsk constituency.

After the 2003 redistricting Irkutsk Oblast lost one of its four constituencies, so all remaining seats saw major changes. The constituency retained all of its 1993–1995 territory, losing Irkutsky, Kachugsky and Olkhonsky districts to Irkutsk constituency. This seat instead was pushed to the west, gaining western Irkutsk Oblast from the dissolved Tulun constituency.
