10th federal electoral district of Guerrero

The 10th federal electoral district of Guerrero (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 10 de Guerrero) was a federal electoral district of the Mexican state of Guerrero from 1977 to 2006. An earlier 10th district was abolished in 1930.

During its existence, the 10th district returned one deputy to the Chamber of Deputies for each of the 51st to 59th sessions of Congress. Votes cast in the district also counted towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the country's electoral regions.

Created as part of the 1977 political reforms, it was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election and elected its last deputy in the 2003 mid-terms. It was dissolved during the Federal Electoral Institute's 2005 redistricting process because the state's population no longer warranted ten districts.
