The lone Legislative District of Las Piñas City is the representation of the City of Las Piñas in the Philippine House of Representatives. It was established in 1998, after the separation of Muntinlupa City from the Lone District of Las Piñas-Muntinlupa which represented both cities in the House of Representatives from 1987 to 1998. From 1907 until 1972, it was part of the representation of Rizal Province. During the duration of the Interim Batasang Pambansa from 1978 to 1984 it was part of the representation of the Region IV, and from 1984 to 1986, Las Piñas was grouped with Parañaque for its representation in the Regular Batasang Pambansa.
