The Admiralteysky constituency (No.206) was a Russian legislative constituency in central Saint Petersburg in 1995–2007. It included Admiralteysky District, Vasileostrovsky District and parts of Kirovsky District. The seat was last occupied by United Russia faction member Andrey Benin, a forestry industry lobbyist, who defeated incumbent three-term State Duma member and prominent human rights activist Yuly Rybakov in the 2003 election.
The constituency was dissolved in 2007 when State Duma adopted full proportional representation for the next two electoral cycles. Admiralteysky constituency was not re-established for the 2016 election, currently most of former Admiralteysky constituency is part of Central constituency, while Kirovsky District portion was put into Southern constituency.
