Innsbruck, also known as Electoral District 7A (German: Wahlkreis 7A), is one of the 39 multi-member regional electoral districts of the National Council, the lower house of the Austrian Parliament, the national legislature of Austria. The electoral district was created in 1992 when electoral regulations were amended to add regional electoral districts to the existing state-wide electoral districts and came into being at the following legislative election in 1994. It is conterminous with the city of Innsbruck in the state of Tyrol. The electoral district currently elects two of the 183 members of the National Council using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system. At the 2019 legislative election the constituency had 86,625 registered electors.

Innsbruck was one 43 regional electoral districts (regionalwahlkreise) established by the "National Council Electoral Regulations 1992" (Nationalrats-Wahlordnung 1992) passed by the National Council in 1992.[3] It was conterminous with the city of Innsbruck in the state of Tyrol.[4] The district was initially allocated three seats in May 1993.[5] Electoral regulations require the allocation of seats amongst the electoral districts to be recalculated following each national census and in June 2013 the number of seats allocated to Innsbruck was reduced to two based on the population as at the 2011 national census.[6]
