The Kuban-Black Sea electoral district (Russian: Кубанско-Черноморский избирательный округ) was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election.

The electoral district covered the Kuban Oblast and the Black Sea Governorate.[3] The draft legislation for the election had included Kuban Oblast, the Black Sea Governorate, the Terek Oblast and the Dagestan Oblast into a single constituency. However, in the final law the constituency was delimitated to Kuban Oblast and the Black Sea Governorate.[4] Originally assigned 14 seats, by decree of the Provisional Government the number of deputies of the Kuban-Black Sea district was increased to 16.[5] Kuban was fully engulfed by civil war by the time of the vote.[6] The election was only held in Ekaterinodar and some surrounding villages where the Kuban Territorial Council was in control,[7][6] - and notably the vote was held February 2-6, 1918 (i.e. after the disbanding of the Constituent Assembly).[8]
