The Kineshma constituency (No.92[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in Ivanovo Oblast. The constituency covers eastern half of Ivanovo and northern Ivanovo Oblast. After 2025 redistricting Ivanovo Oblast is slated to lose one of its two constituencies, so Kineshma constituency is going to be dissolved and merged with Ivanovo constituency.
The constituency has been represented since 2021 by United Russia deputy Mikhail Kizeyev, former Member of Ivanovo Oblast Duma and ophthalmologist, who won the open seat, succeeding one-term United Russia incumbent Yury Smirnov.
