Ernakulam Lok Sabha constituency is one of the 20 Lok Sabha (parliamentary) constituencies in Kerala state in southern India.

It comprises 7 legislative assembly constituencies. The constituency is dominated by Latin Catholics, making this seat a Congress stronghold. Eleven of the twelve legislatures were from this community, and the Left parties have only succeeded here by contesting independents, barring once.[1][2]
