The 1st constituency of French Polynesia is a French legislative constituency in French Polynesia.
Following the 2010 redistricting of French legislative constituencies, which came into application for the June 2012 legislative election, the boundaries of French Polynesia's two constituencies were redrawn so as to create a third constituency in the collectivity. Since then, the 1st constituency consists of the communes of Arue, Moorea-Maiao, Papeete and Pirae in the Windward Islands, and all communes in the Marquesas Islands (Fatu-Hiva, Hiva-Oa, Nuku-Hiva, Tahuata, Ua-Huka, Ua-Pou) and in the Tuamotu-Gambier Islands (Anaa, Arutua, Fakarava, Fangatau, Gambier, Hao, Hikueru, Makemo, Manihi, Napuka, Nukutavake, Puka-Puka, Rangiroa, Reao, Takaroa, Tatakoto, Tureia).[1]
