The Agin-Buryat constituency (No.215) was a Russian legislative constituency in Agin-Buryat Autonomous Okrug in 1993–2007. It encompassed the entire territory of Agin-Buryat Autonomous Okrug. The seat was last occupied by United Russia faction member Iosif Kobzon, a famous estrada singer, who won a by-election in 1997.
The constituency was dissolved in 2007 when State Duma adopted full proportional representation for the next two electoral cycles. In 2008 Agin-Buryat Autonomous Okrug was merged with Chita Oblast to form Zabaykalsky Krai. Currently the territory of the former Agin-Buryat constituency is part of the Dauria constituency.
