[[File:Don Cossack Region Electoral District - Russian Constituent Assembly election, 1917.png|thumb|Don Cossack Region electoral district]]The '''Don Cossack Region electoral district''' () was a constituency created for the [[Russian Constituent Assembly election, 1917]].

The electoral district covered the [[Don Host Oblast]].<ref name="Новицкая1991"/> The Provisional Government had provided a degree of autonomy to the Don region, recognizing the authority of the Cossacks over the land. In June 1917 General [[Alexey Kaledin]] was elected as [[ataman]]. The Kadets had sought to form a joint Kadet-Cossack list in the district, and a number of Kadet national leaders had visited the area ahead of the election. The effort failed, over differences of opinion on land ownership of non-Cossacks.<ref name=Swain2013></ref>
