Oregon's 1st congressional district is acongressional district located in the U.S state of Oregon. The district stretches fromPortland's western suburbs and exurbs, to parts of the Oregon coast. The district includes the principal cities ofBeaverton,Hillsboro, andTigard, all located in thePortland metropolitan area. Geographically, the district is located in the northwest corner of Oregon. It includes all ofClatsop,Columbia andTillamook Counties, most ofWashington County excluding the extreme southeast, and a portion of southwestMultnomah County in Portland. It generally includes most of Portland west of theWilliamette River.

The district has been represented byDemocratSuzanne Bonamici since 2012. Bonamici won aspecial election to replaceDavid Wu, who resigned in the wake of accusations of sexual misconduct.^[3][4]

The district was a Democratic-leaning swing district for much of the 1990s, with a number of competitive contests after 18-year incumbent DemocratLes AuCoin gave up the seat to run forUnited States Senate in 1992. However, since the district was pushed further into Portland after the 2000 census, it has been much safer for the Democrats; theRepublicans have only managed 40 percent of the vote once since 2003. With aCook Partisan Voting Index of D+20, it is the second-most Democratic district in the state, behind only the neighboring3rd district covering most of the rest of Portland. It is the fourth most Democratic district in the Pacific Northwest, only Washington's7th and9th districts and Oregon's 3rd are more Democratic.

For the118th and successive Congresses (based on redistricting following the2020 census), the district contains all or portions of the following counties and communities:^[7]
