The Smolensk constituency (No.176) is a Russian legislative constituency in Smolensk Oblast. The constituency covers the entire territory of Smolensk Oblast.

The constituency has been represented since 2026 by A Just Russia deputy Alexander Babakov, five-term State Duma member and Deputy Chairman of the State Duma. Prior six-term United Russia incumbent Sergey Neverov withdrew from the primary, while one-term Liberal Democratic incumbent Sergey Leonov, who was redistricted from the Roslavl constituency, unsuccessfully sought re-election on the party list.

Boundaries

1993–1995: Demidovsky District, Kardymovsky District, Khislavichsky District, Krasninsky District, Monastyrshchinsky District, Pochinkovsky District, Rudnyansky District, Shumyachsky District, Smolensk, Smolensky District, Velizhsky District, Yershichsky District
The constituency covered the oblast capital Smolensk and western Smolensk Oblast.

1995–2007: Demidovsky District, Kardymovsky District, Khislavichsky District, Krasninsky District, Monastyrshchinsky District, Pochinkovsky District, Rudnyansky District, Shumyachsky District, Smolensk, Smolensky District, Velizhsky District
After 1995 redistricting the constituency was slightly altered, losing rural Yershichsky District at the southern tip of Smolensk Oblast to Vyazma constituency.

Constituency boundaries from 2016 to 2026

2016–2026: Demidovsky District, Dorogobuzhsky District, Dukhovshchinsky District, Gagarinsky District, Kholm-Zhirkovsky District, Novoduginsky District, Rudnyansky District, Safonovsky District, Smolensk (Zadneprovsky), Smolensky District (Divasovskoye, Gnezdovskoye, Kasplyanskoye, Katynskoye, Korokhotkinskoye, Loinskoye, Novoselskoye, Pecherskoye, Smetaninskoye, Stabenskoye, Volokovskoye, Vyazginskoye), Sychyovsky District, Tyomkinsky District, Ugransky District, Velizhsky District, Vyazemsky District, Yartsevsky District
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election and retained only Zadneprovsky City District of Smolensk and north-western corner of Smolensk Oblast, losing the rest to new Roslavl constituency. This seat instead gained north-eastern Smolensk Oblast from the dissolved Vyazma constituency.

2026–present: Demidovsky District, Desnogorsk, Dorogobuzhsky District, Dukhovshchinsky District, Gagarinsky District, Glinkovsky District, Kardymovsky District, Khislavichsky District, Kholm-Zhirkovsky District, Krasninsky District, Monastyrshchinsky District, Novoduginsky District, Pochinkovsky District, Roslavlsky District, Rudnyansky District, Safonovsky District, Shumyachsky District, Smolensk, Smolensky District, Sychyovsky District, Tyomkinsky District, Ugransky District, Velizhsky District, Vyazemsky District, Yartsevsky District, Yelninsky District, Yershichsky District
After the 2025 redistricting Smolensk Oblast lost one of its two constituencies, so both Smolensk and Roslavl constituencies were merged into a single constituency, covering the entirety of Smolensk Oblast.
