Frankfurt an der Oder was one of the 35 electoral districts (German: Wahlkreise) used to elect members to the Reichstag during the Weimar Republic. It sent members to the Reichstag in nine democratic elections between 1919 and 1933. It existed nominally in the show elections to the Nazi Reichstag until 1938.

It comprised the Regierungsbezirk Frankfurt – the eastern part of Brandenburg – and the province of Posen–West Prussia. It was constituency 5 in the numbering scheme.[1]
