20th federal electoral district of Veracruz

The 20th federal electoral district of Veracruz (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 20 de Veracruz) is a defunct federal electoral district of the Mexican state of Veracruz.

During its existence, the 20th district returned one deputy to the Chamber of Deputies for each of the 51st to 65th 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 it elected its last deputy in the 2021 mid-terms. It was dissolved by the National Electoral Institute (INE) in its 2022 redistricting process because the state's population no longer warranted 20 districts.
