Cebu's 7th congressional district is one of the seven congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Cebu. It was represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines from 1916 to 1972, and again since 2016.

It is currently represented in the 18th Congress by Peter John Calderon of the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC).[4]
