The legislative district of Muntinlupa is the representation of the highly urbanized city of Muntinlupa in the Congress of the Philippines. The city is currently represented in the lower house of the Congress through its lone congressional district.

History

From 1907 up to 1972, it was represented as part of the first district of Rizal and of Region IV from 1978 to 1984. From 1984 to 1986, Muntinlupa was grouped with Pateros and Taguig (as the Legislative district of Taguig–Pateros–Muntinlupa) for representation in the Regular Batasang Pambansa. In 1987 it was grouped with Las Piñas to form the Legislative district of Las Piñas–Muntinlupa. Muntinlupa first elected its own representative in 1998, after its city charter (Republic Act No. 7926) was approved on March 1, 1995 and ratified on May 8, 1995.
