The Sverdlovsk constituency (No.168) is a Russian legislative constituency in Sverdlovsk Oblast. The constituency covers western Yekaterinburg and northern industrial satellite cities of Verkhnyaya Pyshma and Sredneuralsk.

The constituency has been represented since 2016 by United Russia deputy Andrey Alshevskikh, Member of Legislative Assembly of Sverdlovsk Oblast and local activist.

Boundaries

1993–2003 Verkh-Isetsky constituency: Yekaterinburg (Chkalovsky, Leninsky, Oktyabrsky, Verkh-Isetsky) The constituency was based entirely within Yekaterinburg, covering southern half of the city.

2003–2007 Verkh-Isetsky constituency: Yekaterinburg (Chkalovsky, Leninsky, Oktyabrsky, except Siniye Kamni microdistrict, Verkh-Isetsky) The constituency was slightly altered following the 2003 redistricting, losing the Siniye Kamni microdistrict in Oktyabrsky City District to Ordzhonikidzevsky constituency.

2016–2026: Sredneuralsk, Verkhnyaya Pyshma, Yekaterinburg (Leninsky, Verkh-Isetsky, Zheleznodorozhny) The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election under the name "Sverdlovsk constituency" and retained only Leninsky and Verkh-Isetsky city districts of Yekaterinburg, losing Chkalovsky City District to Kamensk-Uralsky constituency and Oktyabrsky City District – to Asbest constituency. This seat instead gained Zheleznodorozhny City District in the city north-west from the former Ordzhonikidzevsky constituency as well as industrial satellite cities Verkhnyaya Pyshma and Sredneuralsk to the north from Pervouralsk constituency.

Since 2026: Yekaterinburg (Akademichesky, Leninsky, Verkh-Isetsky, Zheleznodorozhny) After the 2025 redistricting the constituency was significantly changed, losing Verkhnyaya Pyshma and Sredneuralsk to Nizhny Tagil constituency, and was again reconfigured to an entirely Yekaterinburg seat (Akademichesky City District was created in 2020 from parts of Leninsky and Verkh-Isetsky city districts).
