The 1st constituency of New Caledonia is a French legislative constituency in New Caledonia.
Between 1958 and 1962, the constituency represented all of the New Hebrides condominium and New Caledonia until a redistricting in 1978 created the 2nd constituency. Between 1978 and a new redistricting in 1986, the first constituency represented the Kanak-populated eastern shore of the main island in addition to the Loyalty Islands. Since 1986, the constituency has been composed of the Caldoche-populated loyalist of Nouméa and the Kanak-populated Loyalty Islands.
