Weser-Ems 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 eight democratic elections between 1920 and 1933. It existed nominally in the show elections to the Nazi Reichstag until 1938.

It was located in northwestern Germany and comprised the Regierungsbezirke of Aurich and Osnabrück from the Prussian province of Hanover, most of the Free State of Oldenburg, and the state of Bremen. It was constituency 14 in the numbering scheme.[1]
