Cebu's 1st congressional district is one of the seven congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Cebu. It has been represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 1916 and earlier in the Philippine Assembly from 1907 to 1916.[3] The district consists of the cities of Carcar, Naga and Talisay and the municipalities of Minglanilla, San Fernando and Sibonga. It is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Rhea Gullas of the Lakas–CMD.[4]

Prior to its second dissolution in 1972, the district encompassed the northeastern municipalities of Bogo, Borbon, Carmen, Catmon, Pilar, Poro, San Francisco, Sogod, Tabogon, and Tudela, and the city of Danao.
