The1st constituency ofMarne (French:Première circonscription de la Marne) is one of five electoral districts in thedepartment of the same name, each of which returns onedeputy to theFrench National Assembly in elections using thetwo-round system, with a run-off if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote in the first round.

The constituency is made up of five (pre-2015)cantons: those of Bourgogne, Reims II, Reims IV, Reims VI, and Reims X.

It includes the northern part ofReims, the department's largest city, as well as some rural territory between it and the border withArdennes.

At the time of the 1999 census (which was the basis forthe most recent redrawing of constituency boundaries, carried out in 2010) the 1st constituency had a total population of 100,826.

The seat has been a conservative stronghold for many years and was held byJean Falala, the long-serving mayor of Reims, until 2002 when he passed the seat on to his sonFrancis Falala. Francis, however, failed to match his father's longevity and lost theUMP nomination toRenaud Dutreil prior to the2007 election, before standing as an independent and coming third in the first round of voting.
