Electoral district no. 8 (Estonian: Valimisringkond nr 8) is one of the 12 multi-member electoral districts of the Riigikogu, the national legislature of Estonia.

It was renamed electoral district no. 8 in 2003 following another re-organisation of electoral districts. It is conterminous with the counties of Järva and Viljandi. The district currently elects seven of the 101 members of the Riigikogu using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system. At the 2019 parliamentary election it had 61,657 registered electors.
