Manila's 4th congressional district is one of the six congressional districts of the Philippines in the city of Manila. It has been represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 1949.[3] The district consists of barangays 395 to 586 in the northern Manila district of Sampaloc bordering Quezon City.[4] It is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Edward Maceda of the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC) and Asenso Manileño.[5]

From 1949 to 1972, the district encompassed the southern Manila districts of Ermita, Intramuros, Malate, Paco, Pandacan, Port Area, and Santa Ana,[6] which also includes the present-day San Andres. After the restoration of the Congress in 1987, the aforementioned districts were reapportioned to the new fifth and sixth districts, respectively, while the fourth district encompassed the district of Sampaloc. This remains in place to date.[4]
