The lone Legislative District of Camarines Norte is the representation of the Province of Camarines Norte in the Philippine House of Representatives. Camarines Norte was represented as part of the first and second districts of Ambos Camarines prior to being granted its own representation, after the division of Ambos Camarines in 1919 into Norte and Sur. From 1978 to 1984, it was part of the representation of Region V.

The passage of Republic Act 9725 abolished the lone district and divided the province into two districts starting in the 2010 elections.
